Run Headless JsTestDriver?

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?

Solution

  • 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.
