I have my selenium tests running on a jenkins server installed on a ubuntu headless machine [remote on AWS] using xvfb buffer, there are times when the tests gives false failures may be because of resolution/time/configuration issues but they just work fine on local machine, To find the route cause, I want to connect to the remote machine and watch whats going on in firefox while test is running. Have tried so far
- installed ubuntu-desktop
- installed x11Vnc on remote machine
- vncviewer on local machine
- connected both
- ran tests on remote machine
but all it opens is a dark black window with no progress/firefox shown.
Have checked this too -connect to xvfb remote to fix firefox headless crash? but no success yet!
