Selenium Grid on EC2

Posted by admin on November 2nd, 2008 filed in Uncategorized

I configured the demo for Selenium Grid on EC2. It ran fine as a grid on my local box, but had some issues running over EC2. Mainly the browsers were just hanging instead of executing their scripts. I got quick feedback from Philippe Hanrigou, who is managing the grid project. Unfortunately, I don’t need to use this tool more now, but great to know it’s there in the future.

I’d really like to see a preconfigured windows selenium grid ec2 instance in the repository since IE is the most used browser still. Currently, only linux is available.

    Hi Ed,

    Thanks for the good words. A Windows EC2 instance does make a lot of sense and it will happen! ;-)

    Cheers,
