ElementNotVisibleException when use headless Chrome browser

Question

When I run test script in headless mode chrome browser, element link is not visible, is not able to do linkElement.click(). in head mode is everything OK. All other

Answer 1

I think the problem is, that the Element is really not visible in the default viewbox (600x800) of Headless Chrome.

The window size of the Headless Browser must be set as a Argument when starting chrome. I'm using javascript (I think the API looks similar under python):

var Options = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome').Options;
var options = new Options();
options.addArguments('headless');
options.addArguments('disable-gpu');
options.addArguments('window-size=1200,1100');

browser = builder.forBrowser('chrome').setChromeOptions(options).build();

Additional Info

I'm setup up the window size also by webdriver with browser.manage().window().setSize(1200,1100); But this command is not sufficient in headless chrome. In the non headless variant this is working.
