How to run automated Selenium test with Headless Chrome browser? - google-chrome

All automated test which currently runs on Selenium webdriver, is there any way to run all of them with new Headless chrome?

Yes, that's possible with Chrome V60+. Add these 2 chromeOptions and you're all set:
chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-gpu");

Yes you can run all of them with new Headless chrome. You need to use chrome version 59 and add two chromeOptions to use headless chrome in selenium

Chrome headless executes test over 40 seconds

I have issue with running tests in headless mode with chrome options.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.addArguments("--headless"); driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
In UI mode test is executed fast(4seconds), but when I enable headless mode (40 seconds)
Headless mode:
UI mode:
Is there any other way to use chrome headless, whether something is changed in the mean time in driver itself? I have tried with different java, browser version and chrome driver and issue is the same..
Selenium 4.3.0, TestNG 7.4.0

Headless mode in chrome 97 is not working with windows auth

I use windows auth on build agent on teamcity
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--auth-server-whitelist=*");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--auth-negotiate-delegate-whitelist=*");
And run autotests in headless mode.
chromeOptions.AddArgument("headless");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("window-size=1920x1200");
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--no-sandbox");
Everything has been working fine until Chrome was auto-updated to 97 version. After that my windows auth just stopped working(but it still works for runs without headless mode). I installed old Chrome version on my agents and it works again. But I want to continue both - get updates to Chrome and run my autotests in headless mode.
I tried to add some extra arguments but they didn't work.
options.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
options.addArguments("--proxy-server='direct://'");
options.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--headless");
Any idea how to fix this issue?
The Chrome command line arguments changed from whitelist to allowlist:

Making that change seems to work for me.

--Headless mode is not working in chrome version 77

Previously I am working on chrome 76 version then my headless option in selenium testing is running fine when the chrome is updated with version 77, this is not working I use this for writing basic automation tests in selenium even if I mention chrome options to --headless that doesn't work for me. It directly opens the browser but if we use --headless the browser need not to open but in my case, it was opening. Please suggest me a way to get this issue resolved
Yes, right now the chrome is updated again and for the latest update to 78 version, this --headless mode is working fine. Now if I use 77 chrome driver its working for me.

Puppeteer attach to running chrome that launched by selenium webdriver

Is it possible for puppeteer attach to a running Chrome that launched by selenium webdriver?
My automated tests are based on protractor/selenium/typescript, one of the test is going to download file in headless chrome, but download is not working due to an known bug(https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=696481). I found a solution for headless download is that - using puppeteer send 'Page.setDownloadBehavior' command, then the file can be downloaded in headless.
For example, I have 10 tests, test1 ~ test9 are running on Chrome that launched by selenium webdriver, test 10 is download file test, I use puppeteer to download file in headless, but puppeteer launched another chrome instance. So is it possible for puppeteer attach to a running Chrome that launched by selenium webdriver?
