How to run selenium (Firefox) web driver without a GUI?
We can run Selenium (Firefox) webdriver without a GUI. This means that the execution has to be kicked in headless mode. The headless execution is popular now since it results in less consumption of resources.
Firefox, without GUI, can be executed after we set the geckodriver path. We shall take the help of FirefoxOptions class, share this information to the browser via the setHeadless method. Finally pass true as a parameter to that.
Syntax
FirefoxOptions op = new FirefoxOptions(); op.setHeadless(true); WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(op);
Example
Code Implementation.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class FirefoxNoGUI{
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\geckodriver.exe");
//FirefoxOptions object
FirefoxOptions op = new FirefoxOptions();
//pass true to headless mode
op.setHeadless(true);
// send headless information to Firefox driver
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(op);
// wait of 5 seconds
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm");
// get page title
System.out.println("Page Title without GUI: " + driver.getTitle());
driver.quit();
}
}Output
