Hi ,

I made a bacth file which have list of my all automated tests. When i execute this batch file it executes sahi scripts one by one. So the problem which i am facing is if suppose i want to execute my test using firefox and firefox session is already running, then each test will open a new firefox tab, and executes their and wont be closed. If no firefox session was running, then it will simply executes one by one test in firefox and close it after each execution.
Same problem occurs on chrome and IE.
So please suggest me if browser is already open , in that case also it should not open multiple tabs or multiple browsers, it should simply close the browser.


Thanks & Regards

    Hi vikkyjain,

    What version of Sahi are you using and which OS?

    Also, check if there are spaces between the path to Sahi.

    Hi Vikky,

    This generally happens if your browserOptions parameter is incorrect. Can you paste the output that you see on the console where you ran testrunner.bat (or your batch file) ?

    Your browser option should not be blank. How are you running the batch file?
  • vikkyjainvikkyjain Members
    my batch file have following entries

    SET FIREFOX=%1
    SET URL=%2
    SET BROWSER=%3
    SET SAHIBATCH=C:\automation\sahi\lib\ant-sahi.jar net.sf.sahi.test.TestRunner

    java -cp %SAHIBATCH% "C:\automation\scripts\test.sah" %FIREFOX% %URL% default localhost 9999 1 %BROWSER%

    Can you please tell how to set BrowserOption value ????
  • narayannarayan Administrators
    Vikky,

    Please look at testrunner.bat to see how you can write your own batch file. In fact I would advise you to use testrunner.bat. It has the right configurations done.
    For more details have a look at: http://sahi.co.in/w/Running+multiple+tests+in+batch+mode

    In your case, you can try with:

    java -cp %SAHIBATCH% "C:\automation\scripts\test.sah" %FIREFOX% %URL% default localhost 9999 1 %BROWSER% "-profile "$userDir/browser/ff/profiles/sahi$threadNo" -no-remote"

    Hi Narayan ,

    I tried using "-profile "$userDir/browser/ff/profiles/sahi$threadNo" -no-remote". This work good for Firefox and internet explorer, but for Chrome, it still opens a new tab and previous tabs shows a message

    "Eithe chrome ran out of memory or the process for webpage was terminated for some reason"
