Selenium2 (WebDriver) using Java fails when browser window is not focused

Question

My Selenium Java Webdriver tests are failing when they start if I don't click on the browser page that is being opened.

The following crash is caused from an ElementNotVisibleException, obviously.

This was not a big issue until now that I have to put them in a Jenkins CI machine.

Can any body help by providing possible solution or suggestion?

Once you open the browser window, have you added the selenium command viz. selenium.windowFocus() to focus on the window? — , Oct 19 '11 at 18:11

For Selenium RC:

selenium.windowFocus();
selenium.windowMaximize();

For WebDriver (Selenium 2):

driver.manage().window().maximize();
