Headless automation with Nodejs Selenium Webdriver

Question

I am working with an automation tool which has to be deployed inside an ubuntu server, my wonder is if is possible to use chrome in a silent way with Selenium Webdriver.

Answer 1

Try this one:

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'),
    chrome    = require('selenium-webdriver/chrome')
    By        = webdriver.By,
    until     = webdriver.until,
    options   = new chrome.Options();
    options.addArguments('headless'); // note: without dashes
    options.addArguments('disable-gpu')
var path = require('chromedriver').path;
var service = new chrome.ServiceBuilder(path).build();
    chrome.setDefaultService(service);
var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
    .forBrowser('chrome')
    .withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome()) 
    .setChromeOptions(options)                         // note this
    .build();

driver.get('https://www.google.com');
