How to run Selenium test case file from command line

Question

I wrote a test case and then saved that test case with the Firefox extension Selenium IDE. How can I use command line to run this exported html file?

I tries this how-do-i-launch-the-selenium-ide-from-the-command-line-with-a-specific-test-case

But there was a problem. Please suggest something.

You’ll need Selenium RC for this:
http://seleniumhq.org/download/ 

And the Java 1.5 or higher (Download Java here)

1) Install Java
2) Unpack Selenium RC.
3) Open a cmd.exe window and go to the directory containing the Selenium Server (selenium-remote-control-1.0.1\selenium-server-1.0.1)
4) Run the command below:

java -jar selenium-server.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" "http://10.8.100.106" "C:\mytestsuite\mytestsuite.html" "C:\mytestsuite\results.html"

This should run your test suite in Firefox and write the results to the html file. Obviously, you will need to change the "http://10.8.100.106" argument to your own server (this might just be localhost / 127.0.0.1)
