run Selenium in a Batch File - batch-file

I want to create a batch file for running Selenium. I need it to run it in Jenkins, now you can ask why you will do it with a batch file? There is a plugin for it, so use that one. Now it is impossible to use that plugin because it is to complex what I want, so I need to do it with a batch file.
I'm using selenium-java-2.20.0 and Firefox.
Thanks already!
This is the code and the error that I get:
C:\Users\User\Desktop>#echo off
C:\Users\User\Desktop>java -jar C:\Users\User\Downloads\selenium-java-2.20.0\selenium-2.20.0\selenium-java-2.20.0.jar -htmlSuite "iexploreproxy" "http://localhost" "C:\Users\User\Documents\Runner.html" "C:\Reports\Selenium\result.html"
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:\Users\User\Downloads\selenium-java-2.20.0\selenium-2.20.0\selenium-java-2.20.0.jar

You're using the wrong JAR file. You want selenium-server-standalone-2.20.0.jar.

Can we fail jenkins build if build.xml fails which is being called through a bat script

I am calling a batch file from Jenkinsfile. Through that batch file I am calling ant build.xml.
Currently though the ant build.xml is failing pipeline is executing next stage.
Is there any way to avoid this scenario?
For the case that you are using Jenkins declarative pipeline you could add thw following to let Jenkins skip the stages after one becomes unstable:
options
{
skipStagesAfterUnstable()
}

How to build and run a dotnet core project with a .bat file?

I am trying to figure out how to do so for a batch file that can be ran on startup of my PC.
You can use dotnet-build and dotnet-run commands.
dotnet-build: builds a project and all of its dependencies.
dotnet-run: provides a convenient option to run your application from the source code with one command.
For more information, refer these links-

Jenkins/Windows - Launch TestNG suite from .bat

Stackoverflow helped me a lot to reach that point but now I'm completely stuck, here is my problem :
I'm currently developing several tests to check a website. I code with Java in Eclipse, using testNG plugin with ReportNG for report, all of this using Windows 7 pro.
My tests work, and my report is well generated, so now I have to put it on Jenkins for my company so they will run my tests every X hours.
In order to launch my tests, I have made a file, named Run.bat, which runs the Java code, I tested it and it works, here is the code :
Run.bat
set classpath=blex_test_v1\bin;blex_test_v1\lib\*
java org.testng.TestNG blex_test_v1\blex_test_v1.xml
I now try to launch the tests on Jenkins, creating a new job and configuring it with the build section :
Run.bat
And this is my problem, I've tried everything (relative path, only the name of the file etc...) I always get this error :
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "cmd" (in directory "/var/jenkins_home/jobs/blex_functional_test/workspace"): error=2, No such file or directory
So I checked the Jenkins workspace but my Run.bat is in it :
Workspace
I have read that Jenkins is in Linux so it might cause problem with bat files, so I tried to create a script but I didn't succeed either ..
So my question is : How can I run my test on Jenkins using my file Run.bat ? What am I doing wrong here ?
Thanks a lot !
Finally I can add an answer :
Jenkins is installed on a Unix machine so you can't run a bat file, it has to be a bash script.
To create a bash script, refer here.
Then you have to make sure that the plugin Xvfb is installed (and works) on the computer where Jenkins is installed.
I use testNG with reportNg and it doesn't work with the last firefox version so you I use firefox v34.0.5 and this version must be installed also on the Jenkins computer.
If you want to open the report after the execution, install another plugin and configure it (report HTML or something like that)
God it took me about a week but it's good to see it working !

Nunit TestResult.xml is not created during Jenkins build

To run tests in Jenkins I use the next batch command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.6.4\bin\nunit-console.exe" /result:TestResult.xml "C:\Users\Denis\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\MyProject\App.nunit"
Here how it looks in Jenkis:
The problem is: it doesn't generate TestResult.xml file!
When I run the same command as a .bat file from my desctop it creates the TestResult.xml file.
Any ideas what is wrong with Jenkins?
P.S. I searched for created file in all possible folders and even via "search"
I came up with thought that the file is generated and removed then or something like this.
The thing is that I don't see this file indeed but Jenkins generated report based on this file! So I think maybe after generating report the file was removed automatically.
I had faced the same issue and I found the test results xml file under my user directory in Win 7.
Note : I think it's some problem with nunit that it doesn't export the file to the location of which we provide the path.

Unable to execute TestNG Suite file via command line

I am trying to execute a TestNG Suite file via the command line in order to initiate a regression run.
Currently I am doing this through my Eclipse IDE successfully by right-click on the "testng.xml" file then selecting Run As > TestNG Suite.
However, when I try to run it via the command line, I get an error message. Steps below:
I navigate to the directory where my "testng.xml" file is saved. e.g. C:\Users\xxx\Documents\eclipse projects\Automated Testing\config
Run the command:
java org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
The above command generates the below response:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG
I tried setting the classpath to include all of the selenium and testNG Jar files as per below:
set classpath C:/Users/xxxx/Downloads/selenium-java-2.25.0/selenium-2.25.0/libs/*
However, this generates the below error message:
Environment variable classpath C:/Users/xxxx/Downloads/selenium-java-2.25.0/selenium- 2.25.0/libs/* not defined
I have looked on the testNG Documentation (http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html) and this just says that testNG has to be in your classpath, so now I am a bit stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Either methods work :)
Method #1
cd C:\Workspace\projectname
java -cp C:\Workspace\projectname\lib\*;C:\Workspace\projectname\bin org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
Method #2
cd C:\Workspace\projectname
set ProjectPath=C:\Workspace\projectname
echo %ProjectPath%
set classpath=%ProjectPath%\bin;%ProjectPath%\lib\*
echo %classpath%
java org.testng.TestNG %ProjectPath%\testng.xml
Thanks #siemic, I have finally got it working now. Basically you just need
to run the two commands below:
set classpath=..\bin;C:\libs\selenium-java-2.25.0.jar;C:\libs\testng-6.0.1-nobsh
noguice.jar;C:\libs*
java org.testng.TestNG
It was the first command that I was having trouble with, so just to elaborate I needed to set the following three items on the classpath:
The BIN Directory of my project. This is because the java files that I have developed are located here.
The Selenium.jar file, this is because I am using the selenium framework
The testng.jar file, needed because this is my unit testing framework
Then finally I used a wildcard to include all other JAR files within my libraries folder. The weird thing
is I needed to fully specificy the name of the selenium and testng jar files, or else the tests don't work. Not too sure why.
Anyway it is working fine now and I am able to execute the tests via the command line.
