How to integrate selenium python scripts stored on your local desktop with Jenkins?
You can achieve this by using Jenkins’ “File System” or “Workspace” functionality.
Follow the below Process:
1. Prepare Your Selenium Scripts: Make sure your Selenium Python scripts are organized in a directory on your local desktop.
2. Install and Set Up Jenkins: Ensure Jenkins is installed and configured on your machine.If it is not installed you can download it from the website https://www.jenkins.io
3. Create a Jenkins Job:
- Log in to the Jenkins dashboard.
- Create a new Jenkins job (freestyle or pipeline).
- Configure the job with a suitable name and settings.
4. Configure Build Steps:
- In the job configuration, find the section for build steps.
- Add a build step to execute your Selenium Python scripts.
- Use the full path to your Python interpreter and the path to your Selenium script on your local machine. For example: /path/to/python /path/to/your/selenium_script.py
5. Configure Workspace:
- Jenkins provides a workspace for each job where files can be stored and accessed during the job’s execution.
- You can use the workspace to copy your Selenium scripts to the Jenkins workspace before executing them.
- Add a build step to copy your scripts to the workspace…cp /path/to/your/selenium_script.py $WORKSPACE/
6. Execute Selenium Tests:
- In the build step, use a command to run your Selenium Python scripts
/path/to/python $WORKSPACE/selenium_script.py
7. Save and Run Job:
- Save the job configuration.
- Manually trigger the job to test the setup. Your Selenium tests should run within the Jenkins job.
8. Schedule and Automate:
- Similar to the previous steps, schedule the job to run at specific intervals or based on your requirements.
9. Monitor and Analyze:
- Use Jenkins logs and reports to monitor the status and results of your Selenium tests.
