Hot off the heals of 1.0.2, we’re releasing Selenium Remote Control 1.0.3. You can download it now.
There is no functional difference between this version and 1.0.2, other than it is packaged up a little nicer and we’ve clarified the relationship between selenium-server and the client drivers. That is: we are not releasing new client drivers with future 1.x releases. The reason is that we locked down the API in version 1.0.1 and so there is no need to push out the same code each time. As such, when you download 1.0.3, you’ll see all the client drivers are labeled version 1.0.1, which is expected.
This release also is zipped up in a way that is compatible with all operating systems. The 1.0.2 release had some reported issues on Windows that have been fixed.
Finally, we also had many requests from Maven users. While we no longer use Maven to build Selenium, we are including pom releases for both the standalone server (ie: selenium-server.jar) and the “coreless” server (ie: selenium-server-coreless.jar). We hope they will be in the central repository shortly.

Hello,
I wonder if someone can help me with a problem I’m having with Selenium RC 1.0.3 and that was already having with version 1.0.1 which is the following:
When I run my Test Suite created with the Selenium IDE 1.0.4 using the Selenium RC in the browser IE8 the Test Suit I created works without any problems running to the end, but if I try to run in Firefox (3.5.7) or GoogleChrome (4) and in the Opera (10.10) only runs the first Test Case successfully stopping in the end without going to the next. Not return any error just does not pass to the second of my Test Case in my Test Suite.
Does anyone could help me?
Thanks

Hi,
There is nothing in this zip file when I go to extract it, just an empty readme file. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hello,
I have solved the problem. The problem is that Selenium RC when recording the Test Cases and Test Suite is not recording with the correct extension “.html”. We need to remane the extensions to “.html” of the Test Cases and the Test Suite files and will work.

I installed this version. When I start up the Se-server, I see:
09:38:55.149 INFO – v2.0 [a2], with Core v2.0 [a2]
Does this mean that it is actually a 2.0 alpha release?
Comment by siking — February 24, 2010 @ 4:41 pm GMT+0000 |
It would be nice if you could publish the fixes that went into the Selenium 1.3 Release. I just downloaded 1.3 release and noticed that support for Google Chrome on Mac OS is still broken.
Comment by Thomas Crowne — February 25, 2010 @ 5:18 am GMT+0000 |
i meant to say 1.0.3
Comment by Thomas Crowne — February 25, 2010 @ 5:19 am GMT+0000 |
I am using maven and have changed my dependency to version 1.0.3.
When the selenium RC server is attempted to be started it hangs, and in the server.log I get:
13:21:00,904 INFO [org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer] Java: Sun Microsystems Inc. 11.3-b02
13:21:00,905 INFO [org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer] OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.el5 amd64
13:21:00,910 INFO [org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer] v2.0 [a2], with Core v2.0 [a2]
Shouldn’t I be expecting v1.0.3 and not v2.0 ?
Has the incorrect version been released and deployed to the maven repository ?

I’m seeing the same issue:
I mentioned it on the forum here:
http://groups.google.com/group/selenium-users/browse_thread/thread/1c01e7675a39970a
Looks like the wrong version of Selenium was uploaded?
Comment by Ian — February 26, 2010 @ 11:04 am GMT+0000 |
Hi,
It’s nice to see the latest version of selenium server.
In order to run test suite on Firefox 3.6, I upgraded existing selenium server 1.0.1 to 1.0.3. But immediately after replacing latest selenium-server.jar I have been getting an error “XHR ERROR: URL = http://localhost:8080/app/ Response_Code = 500 Error_Message = Internal Server Error on session 9201117329044c9dbc146dcdb7c77cc5″ to dig out the cause of the error I did a few of permutation combinations of selenium servers and browsers. They are as below:
1. I ran a test suite with latest selenium server (1.0.3) on Firefox 3.0.x and got the same error.
2. I ran a test suite with old selenium server (1.0.1) on Firefox 3.0.x and it is running fine.
3. Then I patched old selenium server (1.0.1) on order to run on the Firefox 3.6 and I could able to run it successfully. Here what I mean by patched is to change “MaxVersion” number of install.rdf file from seleium-server.jar.
After conducting above tests I suspect on latest selenium server as it was getting failed to FF 3.6 and FF 3.0!! I am clueless and thinking what goes wrong with latest server? Or maybe I am missing some necessary configuration?
The bottom-line is what all changes do I need to do run test suite on Firefox 3.6 using latest selenium server (1.0.3)?
Any pointers or input is highly appreciated.

I’m also using maven and after bumping my dependency on selenium-server to 1.0.3 I get a similar problem as the previous comment (suggesting v2.0 not 1.0.3). But I also get a stack trace suggesting that there is something missing in the classpath. Are there other dependencies that I now have to add?

It looks like both the 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 releases that have been deployed to maven central are incomplete (or haven broken pom-files).
If you look at the pom file at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/seleniumhq/selenium/server/selenium-server/1.0.3/ it refers to an artifact that should have this filename: selenium-server-1.0.3.jar. That file is not there. There is jar file called selenium-server-1.0.3-standalone.jar. And if you look at the 1.0.1 pom file it is totally different, doing some trix with the standalone jar-file. So something is definatly missing in the 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 deployments of selenium-server.
Please fix this. To get around this issue I will have to deploy selenium-server-1.0.3.jar to our inhouse nexus repository.

I know this is an old post but for future ref,I had the same problem, just manually download and install the jar in mvn:
Installing jar on maven:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=org.seleniumhq.selenium.server -DartifactId=selenium-server -Dversion=1.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=selenium-server-1.0.3/selenium-server.jar
Add dependency:
org.seleniumhq.selenium.server
selenium-server
1.0.3

Comment by Caroline — February 11, 2011 @ 2:21 pm GMT+0000 |
In my pom.xml I have:
org.seleniumhq.selenium.server
selenium-server-coreless
${selenium-version}
org.seleniumhq.selenium.client-drivers
selenium-java-client-driver
1.0.1
org.seleniumhq.selenium.core
selenium-core
1.0.1
And yet my JUnit 4 test class that fires up a SeleniumServer gets:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/NetworkUtils
at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer.createWebDriverRemoteContext(SeleniumServer.java:313)
at org.openqa.selenium.server.SeleniumServer.assembleHandlers(SeleniumServer.java:294)
Which dependency am I missing?
Comment by John Crossman — March 12, 2010 @ 7:36 pm GMT+0000 |
For the record, ${selenium-version} = 1.0.3 in my post above.

Can anyone tell me,is it possible to automate share point people picker control through selenium in IE browser?
When i record through IDE it is detecting the people picker sharepoint control through ID in Firefox, during play back in firefox selenium is detecting that control. But while play back in IE8 browser, it is not detecting the people picker sharepoint control. please let me know if there is a solution.
Comment by Avanthi — March 14, 2010 @ 9:00 am GMT+0000 |
I am having a an issue with the people picker control as well. with SP 2010 the control responds to key presses, however when using the typekeysandwait it is not picking up the events. The structure is most complicated with divs, wrapping text areas, and the events send ajax requests to update hiddin spans and input fields with embeded xml for multiple people. The onkeyevents appear to be attached to the wrapper div so would need the bubbeup to be engaged. I have also tried to create the selenium command with various elements in the structure to no avail. Any help would be most appreciated.
Comment by Joseph — March 13, 2013 @ 11:57 pm GMT+0000 |
Any reason why the dependencies are bundled in one big jar file. Could do with separate jar files and Selenium RC jar just by itself.
Didnt want to fix the install.rdf file manually to support Firefox 3.6.*. But looks like I can do without 15MB of a single Jar file that is selenium server 1.0.3
Comment by Luis — March 15, 2010 @ 4:20 am GMT+0000 |
Sorry for the dup – left this comment originally at the 1.0.2 release announcement.
Question: what svn revision is 1.0.3 ? (Didn’t see any relevant tags or branches in the repository.) Thanks!

Selenium 1.0.3 is still not in the central Maven repository. Any news of when it will be available ? Thanks

Hello,
first i tried to download the selenium-rc ZIP from the selenium home page, but the version couldn’t unzipped cause of a damaged zip-file.
After that i tried to download it from this site, but now our kaspersky antivirus software reports:
Virus/PUS: “PUS:NetTool.Win32.ProxySwitcher.d” found!
URL: http://selenium.googlecode.com/files/selenium-remote-control-1.0.3.zip
How i can get an functional and virus free ZIP?

I’ve met same issue with Oscar Lantz and totally agree with him.
Somebody should fix the deploy on Maven central repository 🙂

Did anyone ever figure out why, when you download the supposed 1.0.3 version of selenium-server.jar, the VERSION.txt file in there, as well as what you see when starting the server, show that it’s 2.0? Was it just the wrong release? I’m still having problems with 2.0 and want to downgrade to 1.0.3 but I can’t find it. I’d settle for 1.0.2 but I can’t find that either. If all else fails I can go back to 1.0.1 but that means downgrading to Firefox 3.5. 😦 What is up?
Comment by Gayle — June 22, 2010 @ 9:44 pm GMT+0000 |
Hi,
I’ve downloaded Selenium 1.0.3. My scripts are written in Python. I’m able to run them successfully with IE 7 and FF3.
However when I tried to run on Google Chrome, it failed. All I did was replace ‘*firefox’ with ‘*googlechrome’ and tried running my tests.
selenium = selenium (‘localhost’, str(4444), ‘*googlechrome’, ‘http://www.google.com/’)
The result was, Google Chrome window is opened. But it’s unable to load the url.
On the browser, I get the http 400 error page displayed :
‘Could not proxy http://www.google.com (java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out : connect)’
Anyone know why? Is Google Chrome 5.0 not supported?

Dear Selenium team,
My project works fine with selenium 1.0.1 and Firefox 3.5. But since I update to selenium 1.0.3 ( and old version happen too) and test on Firefox 3.6 I got following issue
– After debug though selenium.start(), only 1 window of Firefox is opened ( it suppose to have 2 since I use multi-window mode). Also, after along time waiting, the debug just stuck at selenium.start() ( it likes it not complete this step and so it does not move to the next line for me). Furthermore, when I check my .bat file, found out that the log always stop and INFO – Launching Firefox
Please help me. Thank you and please forgive me since English is not my native speech !
