Selenium server - PHPUnit can't connect

Question

I tried to make some tests for PHP Unit & Selenium server. I have an ubelieveable issue and i don't know why.

I am using the latest Selenium stand server 2.42.2. When i run the server, it shows this:

root@test:/home/jakub# java -jar /usr/local/bin/selenium-server-standalone-2.42.2.jar
Jun 30, 2014 4:32:53 PM org.openqa.grid.selenium.GridLauncher main

16:34:07.023 INFO - Started org.openqa.jetty.jetty.Server@17056563

It seems that Selenium server is running correctly. But when I try to run simple test in php, using PHPUnit, it says it can't connect to Selenium server.

root@test:/home/jakub# /usr/local/bin/phpunit --verbose sel.php
PHPUnit 4.1.3 by Sebastian Bergmann.

SS

Time: 73 ms, Memory: 3.25Mb

There were 2 skipped tests:

1) loginTest::testLoginTrue
The Selenium Server is not active on host http://test.jacon.cz at port 4444.

2) loginTest::testLoginFalse
The Selenium Server is not active on host http://test.jacon.cz at port 4444.

OK, but incomplete, skipped, or risky tests!
Tests: 2, Assertions: 0, Skipped: 2.

I checked via netstat -apn | grep 4444 if the Selenium server is listening on port 4444 and it is listening. Does someone know how to fix this problem? I googled, but without any results.

And btw. here is the code of the test in php:

<?php
class loginTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase
{
protected $captureScreenshotsOnFailure = TRUE;
protected $screenshotsPath = '';
    protected $screenshotsUrl = '';

protected function SetUp()
  {
  $this->setBrowser('chrome');
  $this->setBrowserUrl('http://test.jacon.cz/');
  //$this->setPort(4444);
  //$this->setTimeout(2);
  $this->setHost("http://test.jacon.cz");
}

public function testLoginTrue()
  {
      $this->url('/sms');
  $this->byName('username')->value('Kristyna');
  $this->byName('password')->value('*****');
  $this->byCssSelector('form')->submit();
      $url = $this->url();
  $this->assertEquals('Statistics', $this->title(), 'Přihlášení neproběhlo');
  $this->assertStringEndsWith('sms/', $this->url(), 'Přihlášení neproběhlo');
  }

     public function testLoginFalse()
  {
  $this->url('/sms');
  $this->byName('username')->value('abcdefgh');
  $this->byName('password')->value('123456');
  $this->byCssSelector('form')->submit();
      $url = $this->title();
  $this->assertEquals('Login to SM', $this->title(), 'Přihlášení proběhlo');
  }
}
?>

Hope you could help. Thanks.

I haven't had the same problem, but I have had better luck extending PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase instead of PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase. — Kryten

There was problem in wrong installation of PHPUnit. Everything is working fine now, thanks a lot for all tips & answers.
