Jenkins, xvfb and selenium

Question

I have been attempting to follow the instructions here to get the Xvfb plugin running: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Xvfb+Plugin

Currently the xvfb executable is at /usr/bin/Xvfb.

My project configuration and Jenkins config are identical to the instructions, however i am getting this error:

ERROR: No Xvfb installations defined, please define one in the configuration. Once defined you''ll need to choose one under Advanced options for Xvfb plugin job settings and save job configuration.

I have also tried putting the path to the executable in the Jenkins config, with had no change on the outcome.

Any ideas how I can get this working?

You must define a Xfvb installation in "Manage Jenkins" => "Configure System" => "Xvfb installation"

I've tried this, but my installation configurations won't save. – Jason Dec 15 '14 at 19:54
just put any name for the config and /usr/bin for the path – Bruno Bossola Sep 15 '15 at 15:42

At the moment, this option is locate under "Global Tool Configuration" (http://jenkisHost:jenkinsPort/configureTools/) but not "Configure System" – olyv Jan 08 '17 at 12:18

You must define installation Xvfb on Jenkins. Access Manage Jenkins >> Global Tool Configuration. In Section Xvfb installation, put name and fill the field "Directory in which to find Xvfb executable" with /usr/bin.

Currently the xvfb executable is at /usr/bin/Xvfb

No, default xvfb location is /usr/bin

With the version 1.10 of the plugin I couldn't save the properties. After upgrading to version 1.12, it started saving.
