Selenide - How to run it with a headless Chrome?

Question

We are trying to developer an automation test, and we found Selenide an interesting and easy framework for running the UI tests.

Selenide needs as an input the browser to use.

So we are passing 2 arguments to the program:

selenide.browser=Chrome
webdriver.chrome.driver=C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe

And the code looks something like that:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",inputParams.get("webdriver.chrome.driver"));
System.setProperty("selenide.browser", inputParams.get("selenide.browser"));

open("http://example.com:8080/myPages");

All works fine, but we also need it to run in headless mode.

We tried several ways to run it in headless mode, (different param in the selenide.browser, PhantomJs and some other combinations, but with not success till now.

Answer 1

It turned out that in order to run Selenide in headless mode we need to add system property selenide.headless=true

Answer 2

You could do also:

 Configuration.headless = true;
