I wanted to use the collective.recipe.seleniumrc buildout recipe to deploy Selenium RC, but quickly discovered that it didn’t work with recent Selenium 2 versions, because the recipe assumes that downloads are .zip files with embedded .jar files but new versions of Selenium RC have the recommended “standalone” package come as just .jar files.

So I made the changes to support Selenium 2 and published them here:

https://github.com/msabramo/collective.recipe.seleniumrc/tree/selenium2_support

I sent an email to the maintainer so that hopefully this support will get merged in but until that happens, you can use my recipe by using a buildout.cfg like this:

[buildout]
find-links = http://github.com/msabramo/collective.recipe.seleniumrc/tarball/selenium2_support#egg=collective.recipe.seleniumrc-0.6dev
parts = seleniumrc

[seleniumrc]
recipe = collective.recipe.seleniumrc>=0.6dev
