Improve documentation on headless browser testing #354
Comments
Hey @plaindocs! I think user was confused because this part is also needed:
to run headless tests without starting a web server after that. |
Yes, I see the problem. Thanks. |
@cotsog @MariadeAnton does either of you have a simple example using Firefox but not using a webserver? I think that might be a good thing to add. Other feedback welcome. |
I do not have a simple example using Firefox but not using a webserver. @cotsog, do you? |
This PR un-did #311 completely, and it is not clear why one should manually start the server, if As this PR is still open, maybe someone involved that can see the original issue could shed a bit of light on what actually was the problem? FWIW: I'm trying to debug issues where Xvfb reports errors when starting, but would like to avoid to switch from xvfb-run to this magic if possible. |
Both Chrome and Firefox now natively support headless mode. See #1538 for the documentation of Firefox, and there's already documentation for Chrome. |
See #19846.
The customer suggested we improve the documentation about setuping
xvfb
