Selenium Remote Control

Allow multiple simultaneous PI sessions

 Description  « Hide

Right now, proxy injection (PI) mode needs to be configured from the command line, and takes over the entire Selenium proxy for a single session.

We should run each PI session on a separate port, so we could configure multiple proxies on the same machine to support multiple sessions. (... not that this will work for IE or Safari proxies, which just use the system proxy anyway.)

This would eliminate the need to configure proxy injection mode from the command line, which would make Selenium RC easier to configure on the client side: you could choose to launch any particular session in PI mode just by passing in a browser option.

When I try to work with two or more concurrent PI modes I get
org.openqa.selenium.server.RemoteCommandException: timed out waiting for window '' to appear
error. Just adding this comment so that it would be easier for people who encounter the same error to find this bug report.

This is probably something we won't fix any time soon. We have other modes (non-PI modes) that work better for Firefox/IE/Safari (but not Opera). We also have Selenium Grid if you need PI + parallel execution.
