Now that you have WSL setup, you can start accessing Windows files from WSL. The steps I am about to suggest should work regardless of the Linux distribution you are planning to use. You can pick any distribution of Linux for WSL, I chose Ubuntu for my project.

Here are the steps on how to setup WSL on Windows – WSL is a cool feature on Windows 10 that allows you to run most of the GNU/Linux commands and applications on Windows. Hopefully, this will help other testers who face a similar issue. I am writing this post to share the steps I followed to setup a Linux environment on my Windows machine to run the Selenium tests. This prevented us from running the tests on a Windows environment. The framework the client had been using, used a UNIX command to find the test files in the various subdirectories under the project root.

I had to setup a Linux system for running the automation tests for one of our clients. If you are one of those testers that had been using a Windows machine and have had to setup a Linux system for running your Selenium automation test, this post is for you.
