Installing Selenoid on OpenSUSE Latest

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Selenoid, a modern Selenium framework for parallel browser testing, on OpenSUSE.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you should have the following:

• A running instance of OpenSUSE Latest
• The latest version of Docker installed on your machine
• Basic knowledge of the command line

Step 1: Download the Selenoid Image

The first step is to download the Selenoid image into your system. You can download the Selenoid latest image by running the following command:

docker pull selenoid/latest

This command will download the Selenoid image from the Docker Hub repository.

Step 2: Create a Configuration File

Next, you must create a configuration file for Selenoid to specify the browsers you want to use for testing. You can create a configuration file by running the following command:

$ cat > selenoid.json <<EOF
{
  "firefox": {
    "default": "latest",
    "versions": {
      "87.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/firefox:87.0",
        "port": "4444"
      }
    }
  },
  "chrome": {
    "default": "latest",
    "versions": {
      "89.0": {
        "image": "selenoid/chrome:89.0",
        "port": "4444"
      }
    }
  }
}
EOF

This configuration file specifies the Firefox and Chrome versions to use for testing.

Step 3: Start Selenoid

Now that you have the Selenoid image and configuration file, you can start Selenoid using the following command:

docker run -d --name selenoid -p 4444:4444 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v `pwd`:/etc/selenoid selenoid/latest \
-conf /etc/selenoid/selenoid.json

This command will start Selenoid as a Docker container and map the container's port 4444 to the host machine port 4444. It will also mount the /etc/selenoid directory on the host machine to the container's /etc/selenoid directory.

Step 4: Verify Selenoid

To verify that Selenoid is running correctly, you can navigate to http://localhost:4444/status in your web browser. You should see a JSON response indicating that Selenoid is running.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Selenoid on OpenSUSE Latest. You are now ready to start using Selenoid for your browser testing needs.
