在jenkins构建步骤启动selenium-server

Question

Desired result

1. Start selenium server
2. Run tests
3. Stop selenium server

What i've tried

java -jar tests/selenium-server.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedrive

The build gets stuck on this step

java -jar tests/selenium-server.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedrive &

OR

nohup java -jar tests/selenium-server.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedrive > log.txt &

It passes the start server step, but my test can't run because it cant connect to selenium server

** Update 1 ** It seems to be a issue with my VPS. Even through ssh, the selenium server doesn't starts.

root@PIV:/usr/share/nginx/pivdev/tests# java -jar selenium-server.jar

Output:

Answer 1

The problem was on my setup.

The selenium server was stuck waiting to start because it was waiting for the system to generate random data at /dev/random.
