Is there a way to use jsTestDriver in a headless state where it loads the browsers but does so headlessly (you can't see the browser) or it loads them minimized?
You could use PhantomJS with JSTestDriver
First start JStestdriver in a command prompt:
java -jar JsTestDriver-1.3.5.jar --port 9876 --captureConsole --runnerMode DEBUG
Download and use the javascript that is used to capture the Phantom browser from here.
phantomjs.exe phantomjs-jstd.js
Output will be like:
Wed Oct 31 2012 12:07:26 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time): Attempting (1) to load:
http://localhost:9876/capture
Run your tests:
java -jar d:\Coding\lib\JsTestDriver-1.3.5.jar --tests all --runnerMode DEBUG
There is no way to configure JsTestDriver to open the browser minimized. And you have to open the browsers because they run the JavaScript code.
You can try to create a virtual monitor and open the browser there.
Under linux you can use xvfb for this, for example
xvfb-run java -jar JsTestDriver-1.3.3d.jar --tests all --port 4224 --browser firefox chromium-browser --testOutput jsTests
should open the browser in a virtual window.
