Installation on Windows 10 Notes:

Installation on XP Notes:

  • I installed using the Windows XP VM from modern.ie, with Java 1.7, maven 3.2.3, Webdriver 2.43.1, IntelliJ 13.1.5

  • need to use JDK 1.7, JDK 1.8 reports a warning on Windows XP

  • download a different text editor to edit the pom.xml (I used notepad++)

  • You need to 'unblock' Java and the IDE etc. for the Windows Firewall as you run through the checklist. Do this, otherwise they won't be able to work

  • Edit SDK by right clicking and choosing "Open Module Settings", then edit the SDK for the Project and press [OK]

    • choose the location of the Java JDK you installed (sometimes you don't have to do this)
  • After test passes in the IDE - ignore the Info Message from WebDriver

"Oct 07, 2014 10:40:36 AM org.openqa.selenium.os.UnixProcess$SeleniumWatchDog destroyHarder INFO: Command failed to close cleanly. Destroying forcefully (v2). org.openqa.selenium.os.UnixProcess$SeleniumWatchDog@da44a7

Process finished with exit code 0 " It worked fine

Installation on Mac Notes:

  • I installed using a VM with OS X Mavericks, then Java 1.8, maven 3.2.3, Webdriver 2.43.1, IntelliJ 13.1.5

  • slightly different order of the install than Windows because: I was prompted to install JDK when I typed "javac -version" so I followed the instructions at that point.

    I didn't need to install Firefox early because I could use the build in Safari browser to download software.

    I didn't need to install a separate text editor as the build in handled the pom.xml file fine.

  • with Maven

    • on mac, downloaded the zip

    • I didn't have a /usr/local so I had to "sudo mkdir /usr/local"

    • then I extracted the contents into an apache-maven-3.2.3 directory in /usr/local (I probably should have created an /apache-maven directory as well, but I didn't

      then I created all the exports in the terminal

      export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.2.3 export M2=$M2_HOME/bin export PATH=$M2:$PATH

      when I tried mvn -version it recognised maven but JAVA_HOME wasn't setup so I had to

      export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home)"

      Then it worked

      Then open a new tab and vi ~/.bash_profile and copy and paste in all the exports

      then create a new tab and "mvn --version" to check that it worked

  • Firefox searched for "firefox" then download from the mozilla.org site ran it nice overlapping dialogs that I had to deal with

  • when I ran "mvn test -Dtest=MyFirstTest", my wifi connection dropped in the middle, but I restarted wifi and ran the mvn command again and it completed fine - one reason to use Maven
