Comment on Selenium-RC and Snow Leopard by Guilherme Chapiewski

Just to inform somebody that may get here through Google like I did, I solved the problem following these instructions: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SRC-743?focusedCommentId=18980&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#action_18980

Basically you have to patch Selenium Server (precisely the “server-coreless/src/main/java/org/openqa/selenium/server/browserlaunchers/SystemUtils.java” file) to don’t set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH for Mac OS.

The patch is attached in the bug tracker: http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SRC-743

Same problem here but your fix didn’t work for me. The error message suggests that the libsqlite3 from my Mac OS does not work for Firefox.

Do you mind to share the MD5 of your lib (the version that worked). Mine is:

- OS version: MD5 (/usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib) = f155b06c4405c5f48abff938de5fe7e0
- Firefox original: MD5 (/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/libsqlite3.dylib) = ee4f03098203abf42aa07f7794bdc2e9

Also it would be useful to know your Selenium 2 alpha version (1 or 2), Firefox version and what exactly you discovered that was hardcoded.

Thanks!

Also added PassengerPoolIdleTime 0 to httpd.conf to speedup page load on my infrequently used site, and RailsEnv production to the site .conf for completeness.

Comment on Installing Ruby MySQL gem on Mac OS X Leopard by sam

A colleague just found this:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS=”-arch i386″ gem install mysql — –with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
I believe they are essentially equivalent, however this new one is more elegant.
