Is it possible to make a jar file using Selenium java and Eclipse and run that file on any machine for the testing

Question

I am using Selenium and Java with Eclipse and TestNG.

Now I want to make a .jar file for running this test case on another system that doesn't have Selenium and Java.

How can this be done?

Answer 1

You can run TestNG programatically (more details here):

TestListenerAdapter tla = new TestListenerAdapter();
TestNG testng = new TestNG();
testng.setTestClasses(new Class[] { Run2.class });
testng.addListener(tla);
testng.run();

And together with the Eclipse Export Wizard, you can create an executable for it.

that don't have ... Java setup

But naturally you need a JRE to execute .jar

However, if you simply boot up a container with Selenium, you will be able to manage changes extremely more easily than with executable files. More details here.

• dzieciou: Obviously you will need Docker installed to run contain er. What's the advantage over installing JRE?
