Hi all,
Is anyone using Vulcan? I've installed the EC2 instance, but can't find any documentation on configuration for selenium, hudson, etc. I've used selenium on our other boxes before so I'm familiar with that.
What is packaged into the Vulcan instance? Is the server just a skeleton or are there packages set up already? Is this ready to go or just an instance I'd build manually? What are the advantage to using the Vulcan EC2 instance?
Thanks

I had to manually edit the config files for selenium to remove the password restriction because I couldn't find the password anywhere. Once you've done that or logged in normally to hudson you'll want to bring a slave up too and add that as a node on the master. Then you'll have a working Hudson grid.
I think vulcan is just a simple way to get everything installed and set up quickly, but not much more. There are a number of useful scripts that will help you to get started with testing drupal using selenium and simpletest.
It's alpha release 1
Right now Vulcan is more of a proof of concept than a real ready-to-go tool. We've been focusing on developing Mercury first, and will start pouring more energy into the other PANTHEON pieces once we get a 1.0 release out.
Thanks for helping share your experience though. Hudson is a great tool to start working with! :)
