Selenium RC got stuck at "Checking resource aliases"

I am new to selenium, I got a problem when running selenium RC.

Actually, I have recorded one script via selenium IDE and saved it as test.html and I am able to run the script via selenium IDE but when I try to run the script via selenium RC it gets stuck at some point and displays the following message in the console "Checking resource aliases"

command for running the script via command prompt:

java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" "www.google.com" "test.html" -port 4445

Let me know the exact reason why this happens?

You should save your tests as a Test Suite also.

At the end you will have two HTML files, the Test Suite and the Test Case (or more if you want). The command java -jar .... to run selenium, with the -htmlSuite parameter, takes an HTML Test Suite, not a Test Case.

I had the same problem and after passing the Test Suite as the parameter worked as charm.

Step-1: Please create a new html file TestSuite.html

<html>
<head>
    <title>My Application Test Suite</title>
</head>
<body>
    <table> 
        <tr><td><b>Suite Of Tests</b></td></tr> 
        <tr><td><a href="./OPSTest.html">Test Example</a></td></tr>
    </table> 
</body>

Step-2: Rename OPSTest.html to your file name test.html.

Step-3: Run this command in command line 

java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" "www.google.com" "TestSuite.html" -port 4445
