I am running test in java selenium test using firefox/chrome driver
I want to run the test in background.
In ruby, i use this gem
https://rubygems.org/gems/headless
How to do in java?
There is a new Firefox headless mode https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Headless_mode
There is an example of how to use it in Node.js
One would think that would translate over to Java quite well. I'm going to give it a shot.
Other option is using the HtmlUnitDriver which based on HtmlUnit project which "GUI less browser".
//create webdriver
WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

I'm able to get the screenshot of Alert by using Robot class when the code is running from server machine (where the code is present). But its not capturing the screen when I'm trying to run through Jenkins.
I guess this is because your code on Jenkins is running in headless mode while Robot doesn't work in headless mode.
At least I had exactly the same problem.
You can use a TakesScreenshot method instead.
It is based on WebDriver and supports headless mode as well.
At the moment, I use Firefox as browser for my Java Application with Selenium. But Firefox is slow.
Is it possible to use Yandex as browser? Didn't find anything in Google. Does Selenium supports Yandex? For Chrome I need the .exe for using Chrome as browser. Is this possible with Yandex?
From what I recall, there is no WebDriver for the Yandex ("Яндекс") browser. In other words, there is no way to automate this browser through selenium.
Also, there are some performance tips and further links here:
Selenium WebDriver works but SLOW (Java)
Yandex browser can work with Selenium WebDriver using Operadriver.
System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.driver", "C:\\Users\\User\\IdeaProjects\\testselenium\\drivers\\operadriver.exe");
OperaOptions options = new OperaOptions();
options.setBinary("C:\\Users\\User\\AppData\\Local\\Yandex\\YandexBrowser\\Application\\browser.exe");
WebDriver driver = new OperaDriver(options);
driver.get("https://docs.seleniumhq.org");
This might be what you are looking for ( 4 years later :) ):

I am having old test automation framework developed using Selenium 1.0 and now wants to migrate my code to WebDriver.
Is there any easiest method to do this migration?
I have overridden most of the methods such as type, click, getText, getSelectedLabel, assert etc etc. I see the only method is to re-write all methods again from scratch, I have already started this process but If I continue with the same method It will take many days for me.
Please suggest if anyone has any better approach.
Thanks in advance.
They are completely different technologies. There is no way to migrate them over to selenium 2 per se.
Luckily, the recent Selenium releases have implemented what's called "WebDriver Backed Selenium" so technically if you are using those tests, it's implicitly running them "as" WebDriver tests.
Other than that, no, there is no easy way.
I had the same issue - we are migrating our entire regression suite over to S2 now :)
In the Webdriver documentation, they explain a method to start migrating from Selenium RC to Selenium WebDriver.
Basically, is creating the selenium object like this:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Selenium selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, "http://www.yoursite.com");
the main problem with this migration (instead of changing the whole code) is the wait for page to load. As they say, the command WaitForPageToLoad returns too soon. The getEval is another command that you have to change.
I think that the best approach is to make functions with the main commands that differs from Selenium RC to Selenium WebDriver, and, once everything is "working" keep modifying your code until no Selenium RC is present. This is how we did the migration, and we had lots of lines of code.
This is the link, where they explain how to start:

I'm using the Java API of the Selenium WebDriver:
Is it possible to create multiple instances of the Selenium WebDriver from different threads simultaneously without conflict?
How do I change the path of the firefox installation directory that WebDriver uses if I installed firefox in a different directory?
How can I hide all the instances of the browsers(e.g firefox) that those threads started?
Thank you.
I can give you an answer to your first question.
Yes, you can run multiple driver instances simultaneously. However it is not recommended to run more than 5 or so instances at once in a single selenium server. Selenium Grid was designed specifically for this (it is bundled with the Selenium Server).
Is there a simple way i can convert my existing selenium RC scripts into the Webdriver format?
There's no way now to "convert" tests, but they can be tweaked to work with WebDriver using its Selenium Emulation.
You should keep in mind that not all Selenium methods are implemented in WebDriverBackedSelenium. However in future releases of WebDriver the support should expand and at some point (probably when Selenium 2 will reach the Beta status) the Selenium and WebDriver will be merged so the transition will be easier
