Hello Sir,

I am trying the execute the test cases in headless mode to reduce the overaltime execution time. I tested the new changes locally and all works fine but when try to run in GRID even though i mention as headless it starts with chrome., any idea why tis is happening ?

CODE:

public WebDriver launchHeadLessChrome()
{
if (REMOTE_URL != null && !REMOTE_URL.equals("")) {
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("headless", true);
//capabilities.setCapability("disable-gpu", true);
try {
return new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(System.getProperty("RemoteUrl")), capabilities);
}

catch (MalformedURLException e) {

e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}

Parametrs passed for local execution :

<prop key="selenium.browser">4</prop>
<prop key="TargetEnvironment">P</prop>

No Remote URL.

With Maven execution : With below goal

clean install -DTargetEnvironment=P -Dtest=PassportComboTestCase -Dselenium.browser=4 -DRemoteUrl=http://XXXXXX:4444/wd/hub -DRunArguments=All

But with this goal it starts with physical browser.

Can you pls help me with this.

You have to use options class to run Selenium in headless mode. Please check this:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("headless");
options.addArguments("window-size=1200x600");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.yahoo.com/");
System.out.println("Title: " + driver.getTitle());
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("d://headless.jpg"));
driver.quit();

How do i use Options class in GRID execution ? Grid we suppose to use RemoteWebDriver and that uses Capabilities rt ?

So i did write in this way

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("headless", true);

You can also try

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    options.addArguments("--headless");
    driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"), options);
