Causes maven antrun to run more than once

[mse-rspenceley]

Hi

I'm using Maven to not only download the WebDrivers, but also to launch Selenium. My POM file contains the following:

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.lazerycode.selenium</groupId>
                <artifactId>driver-binary-downloader-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.0.7</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>selenium</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
             <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
             <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
             <version>1.7</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>hub</id>
                        <phase>test-compile</phase>
                        <configuration>
                            <target>
                                <echo message="Launching Selenium Hub"/>
                                <java classname="org.openqa.grid.selenium.GridLauncher"
                                  classpathref="maven.test.classpath"
                                  failonerror="true"
                                  fork="false">
                                    <arg line="-role hub"/>
                                </java>
                            </target>
                        </configuration>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>run</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                    <execution>
                        <id>node</id>
                        <phase>test-compile</phase>
                        <configuration>
                            <target>
                                <echo message="Launching Selenium Node"/>
                                <java classname="org.openqa.grid.selenium.GridLauncher"
                                  classpathref="maven.test.classpath"
                                  failonerror="true"
                                  fork="false">
                                    <arg line="-role node -nodeConfig selenium/${seleniumNodeConfig}"/>
                                </java>
                            </target>
                        </configuration>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>run</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

When I run mvn test, it fires up the Selenium Hub and Node, then downloads the binaries, then tries to fire up Selenium again, obviously failing because its already running (I don't want to turn off failonerror for that). Doesn't seem to matter how I change phases, this always happens. Any idea?

The binary downloader doesn't start selenium. It only downloads binaries.

Does it try to start selenium up twice if you remove the binary downloader

[mse-rspenceley]

I know it doesn't, the antrun task does that for me.

Yes, if I remove the downloader it runs twice; it runs the antrun tasks, then the downloader, then the antrun task again. Happens even if the antrun task is just 'echo Hello' or whatever

[Ardesco]

So it doesn't sound like a bug the the binary downloader (or standalone server plugin) then...

I would guess that your problem could be that you are using ant to start stuff up in the test compile phase and then selenium will try and run tests in the test, or integration test has. Some of what you have configured selenium to do may clash with what the antrun plugin is doing.
