How to run a Selenium IDE test using Selenium Server

Question

I have a couple selenium ide saved files for running tests. To be able to run these tests through IE, I have installed selenium server with iedriverserver.

I have created a session but I can only load webdriverjs script. Is there an easy way to convert the selenium ide scripts into a format that can be run by the selenium server?

Is there another/easier way to run selenium ide tests for the IE? Thanks.

Answer 1

The files generated by the IDE can be run with the server.

java -jar "[path to the Selenium server .jar file]" -htmlSuite "*[browser, see the list here]" "[URL that the browser will navigate to at startup]" "[path to your HTML test suite file made in the IDE]" "[path to the HTML results file that the server will write]"
