Selenium HTML test suite execution in Jenkins cannot run on firefox

I am trying to integrate Jenkins with Selenium. I prepared the following command:

java -jar <Full Path of the Selenium RC Jar, including jar file name> \
 -htmlSuite *firefox "<Application URL>" \
 "<Test Suite Path Including test suite name>" "<Results file name>"

When I ran the command on the command line, it worked fine. Then I called the same command through Jenkins and I got the following error:

INFO - Preparing Firefox profile...
HTML suite exception seen:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Timed out waiting for profile to be created!
    at org.openqa.selenium.server.browserlaunchers.FirefoxChromeLauncher.waitForFullProfileToBeCreated(FirefoxChromeLauncher.java:360)
    at

Then we created a profile for Firefox and ran with the profile. Now I am getting the following error:

516 [main] INFO org.openqa.jetty.util.Container - Started org.openqa.jetty.jetty.Server@13f3045
HTML suite exception seen:

I have jenkins 1.452 and seleniumHQ2.0

Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Before I call Selenium RC, I added one more command to export the display, with this I can start Selenium RC from Jenkins

The command I executed



export DISPLAY =: 0;

You might want to prepare a profile for Selenium in Firefox: see if that helps (the answer is not flagged as an answer, but the OP posted his solution.

In our Jenkins implementation, we use Xvfb as the headless X server to run Firefox. You can see the details of our implementation here http://www.hiringthing.com/2012/04/13/automated-ui-testing-with-jenkins-selenium.html

I was getting the same error trying to get selenium to work headless. After some searching, I realized that the user I was running selenium with, since did not have access to the Firefox profile directory that I created. Changing the permissions in the profile directory got me through this error.
