We can perform Selenium testing without a browser. This is achieved by triggering the execution in a headless mode. The headless execution can decrease the utilization of key resources and is being adopted widely.
For triggering headless execution in Chrome, the ChromeOptions class is utilized to modify the default browser characteristics. Headless is passed as a parameter to the addArguments.
ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions(); opt.addArguments("headless"); WebDriver d = new ChromeDriver(opt);
Code Implementation.
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class WithoutBrowsr{ public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\ghs6kor\\Desktop\\Java\\chromedriver.exe"); //ChromeOptions object ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions(); //headless parameter opt.addArguments("headless"); // set parameter to Chrome driver WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(opt); driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(8, TimeUnit.SECONDS); driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/questions/index.php"); // obtain page title System.out.println("Page title without browser: " + driver.getTitle()); driver.quit(); } }
