How can we setup Xvfb with Mozilla Firefox in windows server todo showslow automation.

It's better to ask this kind of questions on the seo services mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/showslow - unfortunately, the answer for your questions is probably "there is no way to set up Xvfb on Windows", but it doesn't mean you can't run Firefox there - you might need a virtual machine instead (if you like to clone them). --Sergey Chernyshev 07:24, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your response.

I have tried to run test_har.pl in windows server for automation. But I got the error message "Usage Error: At least 1 source, 1 profile and a display must be specified. usage: test_harness.pl". can I know what value I have to give following variable while running in windows server print STDERR (

       $message,
       "\n"
         . "usage:  $command --display <DISPLAY> --firefox <PATH> --source <URL> \\\n"
         . "            --profile <PATH> [--timeout <SECONDS>] [--quiet] [--verbose]\n\n"
         . "    --display  x11 display ( e.g. ':99' )\n"
         . "    --firefox  path to Firefox binary ( default = /usr/bin/firefox )\n"
         . "    --profile  path to Firefox profile ( e.g. /home/foo/profile )\n"
         . "    --source   uniform resource locator ( e.g. http://www.example.com/list )\n"

. " --quiet supress debug messages ( default TRUE )\n"

         . "    --timeout  thread execution timeout in seconds ( default = 60 )\n"
         . "    --verbose  enable verbose ouput to STDOUT ( default FALSE )\n" 
         . "    --version  report the current version of $command\n"
         . "\n"
   );

that script is automating it on X11 (Unix), not Windows. You can try using Selenium for your use case.

I have configured automation script in Linux. While running monitor.sh I got error "Unknown option: wait Usage ERROR: Invalid command line option(s)." I have assigned value for display, firefox, profile, source, quiet, timeout and verbose. I don't know which value I have assign for version and help. Can you help me how can I ix this bug.

I'd recommend asking this question on our mailing list - there are people there who use these scripts more actively then I do (including Aaron Kulick who wrote them) and they might help with it. --Sergey Chernyshev 17:17, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for your information.
