How to configure/register selenium node in selenium grid in Jenkins



Hello,



I'm trying to get selenium tests running on a remote node from Jenkins
however could not find where to define the remote machine node details in
Selenium Grid running on Jenkins. Any help in this is much appreciated.



The setup that I have is:

1. Selenium Grid configured on Jenkins Server using Jenkins
Selenium Grid Plugin.

2. Able to configure Jenkins machine/server as node. (This is
showing up on Grid Console). Selenium test are getting executed fine on
local node (where the Jenkins is running i.e. local host).



*Question:* Now, I would like to register/configure a remote machine as
node to selenium grid in Jenkins so that selenium tests can be routed to
that node. I could not find any way to add the details of remote machine
while adding new configuration/ new node. Is there any setting that needs
to be done in Jenkins or any additional plugin needs to installed?



Please help me here.

To set up a grid you run the Selenium jar file on one machine as a hub
(e.g. Jenkins server) and on the machine with the browser (Jenkins agent)
you run the Selenium jar file as a node, registering the node with the hub.

So if the Jenkins plugin launches the hub at jenkins.company.com on port
4444 then you can see its console at
http://http://jenkins.company.com:4444/grid/console. On a build agent you
want to launch and register the node using:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar -role node -hub
http://jenkins.company.com:4444/grid/register/


There might be other parameters you use to set up the node. You can run the
jar file from the command line to see all the parameters using:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.1.jar -help -role node
