Introduction

You can optionally override default configuration settings using environment variables.

Java and Selenium Options

You can optionally provide additional options for both Java and Selenium.

This is done by setting a environment variable, JAVA_OPTS for Java options. Or SE_OPTS for Selenium.

$ athena selenium start hub 2.53.0 -e JAVA_OPTS="-xms128m" -e SE_OPTS="-log /home/ubuntu/project/selenium.log"

These variables can be set for hub, firefox, firefox-debug, chrome and chrome-debug.

Hub

GRID_NEW_SESSION_WAIT_TIMEOUT=-1
GRID_JETTY_MAX_THREADS=-1
GRID_NODE_POLLING=5000
GRID_CLEAN_UP_CYCLE=5000
GRID_TIMEOUT=30000
GRID_BROWSER_TIMEOUT=0
GRID_MAX_SESSION=5
GRID_UNREGISTER_IF_STILL_DOWN_AFTER=30000

Environment variables are set using docker options.

$ athena selenium start hub 2.53.0 -e GRID_NEW_SESSION_WAIT_TIMEOUT=30 -e GRID_TIMEOUT=-1

Nodes (Firefox, Chrome, PhantomJS)

SCREEN_WIDTH=1360
SCREEN_HEIGHT=1020
SCREEN_DEPTH=24
DISPLAY=:99.0

Environment variables are set using docker options.

$ athena selenium start firefox 2.53.0 -e SCREEN_WIDTH=800 -e SCREEN_HEIGHT=600

Connect Node to Remote Host

You can optionally connect your node to an external Selenium Hub instance, using REMOTE_HOST, HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_ADDR and HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_PORT environment variables.

$ athena selenium start firefox 2.53.0 -e REMOTE_HOST="http://1.2.3.4:5555" -e HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_ADDR="1.2.3.4" -e HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_PORT="4444"
