    selenium.click("link=Selenium - Web Browser Automation");
    selenium.waitForPageToLoad("30000");
    }
}

Answer 1

I would recommend using Selenium Builder instead of Selenium IDE. Also, there is a Jenkins Builder 'executor plugin' that you can use to run your collections of tests.

Answer 2

If it does not redirect automatically, and you know the link where it should go you could try this work around, add a step in the Selenium IDE:

selenium.open("URL to the page or site you want it to redirect to");

Answer 3

Maybe the page is not getting loaded in time. Try adding a "waitforpagetoload()" before clicking on the link
