On Unix it can happen that test fails because of “Couldn’t execl robot child process: Permission denied” error when initialization of Robot. To resolve this issue you have to repair file permissions as stated in this contribution http://zzlinux.blogspot.com/2004/12/couldnt-execl-robot-child-process.html: “execl” is a system call, So, the api was trying to run a native application to assume the controls of the keyboard and mouse. When jvm tries to create a child process to execute this function, it receive the message from OS (linux): “Permission Denied”. Search for two files on directory jre/lib/i386: awt_robot and awt_robot_g. Then use “chmod x” on both files as root and the Robots will be created without error messages.
