I'm trying to use SplunkIt. I get to the point in the install where I see both my user machine and my server machine in the grinder console. I hit Action -> Start Processes and it seems to whiz along, however I find that splunkit-user seems to bomb out with:
Java exception creating per-thread TestRunner object
File "./search/user_medium.py", line 50, in __init__
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Failed to connect to binary FirefoxBinary(/usr/bin/firefox) on port 7055; process output follows:
Error: no display specified
Essentially saying that it can't open my DISPLAY because it's not defined. Note that I'm not running this on a headless machine.
My splunkit-user/splunkit.properties file contains
DISPLAY=:1
When I run ant with
nohup ant grinder -lib thirdparty/ant -verbose &
it even reports:
[SplunkIt Search Test] Setting environment variable: DISPLAY=:1
Note that I've attempted this with both DISPLAY=:0 and DISPLAY=:1. I've attempted to validate that this works by running
xterm -display :0
OR
xterm -display :1
from the same window I ran "ant" from. With :0, I get an xterm window, with :1, I don't get one, but it doesn't error out either. I assume that it somehow runs that window in such a way that I can't see it. With either :0 or :1 though, I get the same splunkit-user error where it's telling me I haven't set DISPLAY.
I'm logged into this machine (an OpenSuSE 12.1 workstation) in a KDE session and Xvfb is running automatically so I couldn't start up another one.
I also tried with "xhost +" but that didn't help as I suspect it wouldn't since this doesn't seem to be a permissions issue, but rather than java just isn't seeing the DISPLAY being set for some reason.
Oh, and I've also made sure $DISPLAY is exported into my bash environment.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
