Selenium/WebdriverIO Chrome headless?

WebdriverIO

Here is a working example with WebdriverIO: https://github.com/OliverJAsh/webdriverio-chrome-headless/blob/5f231990310023f63f9ea8581567e0d56e2d53ea/src/index.ts

The basic idea:

 import * as webdriverio from 'webdriverio';// Headless is supported in Chrome >= 58. Not currently stable, so using dev// build.const CHROME_BIN_PATH = '/Applications/Google Chrome Dev.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome';const options = {    desiredCapabilities: {        browserName: 'chrome',        chromeOptions: {            binary: CHROME_BIN_PATH,            args: [                'headless',                // Use --disable-gpu to avoid an error from a missing Mesa                // library, as per                // https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md                'disable-gpu',            ],        },    },};webdriverio    .remote(options)    .init()    .url('http://www.google.com')    .getTitle().then(title => {        console.log({ title });    })    .end();

WebDriverJS

Here is a working example with WebDriverJs (the official JavaScript client to WebDriver): https://github.com/OliverJAsh/webdriverjs-chrome-headless/blob/554ea2f150e962257119703c2473753b90842087/src/index.ts

The basic idea:

import * as webdriver from 'selenium-webdriver';import * as chromeDriver from 'selenium-webdriver/chrome';// Headless is supported in Chrome >= 58. Not currently stable, so using dev// build.const CHROME_BIN_PATH = '/Applications/Google Chrome Dev.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome';const options = new chromeDriver.Options();options.setChromeBinaryPath(CHROME_BIN_PATH);options.addArguments(    'headless',    // Use --disable-gpu to avoid an error from a missing Mesa library, as per    // https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md    'disable-gpu',);const driver = new webdriver.Builder()    .forBrowser('chrome')    .setChromeOptions(options)    .build();

You can use capabilities in wdio.conf.js file

capabilities: [{    maxInstances: 1,    browserName: 'chrome',    'goog:chromeOptions': {          args: ["--headless", "user-agent=...","--disable-gpu","--window-size=1440,735"]    }

I did not try this myself yet, but you can download --headless build from this docker image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/justinribeiro/chrome-headless/

or build it yourself (this takes few hours, and you need a lot of RAM :) )http://www.zackarychapple.guru/chrome/2016/08/24/chrome-headless.html

Then you should be able to just specify --headless to your chrome launch script, and use chromedriver, acording to this question in dev mailing list: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/headless-dev/aAGFq8n_s6g
