It is working on Ubuntu 15.04
Working for me on Ubuntu 14.04! I've installed ttf-wqy-microhei to display chinese words.
Install x11vnc and run x11vnc --listen 0.0.0.0 -rfbport 5900 -display :99 -forever, then you can use vnc clients to connect to xvfb display.
Needs node ( & npm) installed as pre-reqs for protractor.
Line 19 is missing a comment char.
Thank you so much for this script!
I've been banging my head against a wall for DAYS trying to get a headless protractor/selenium set up that works (ubuntu 15.04 wily, btw) and this script did the trick! To be honest, looking at these commands, I'm still not sure which part I was missing. Feels like I tried all this before, but maybe not in the right order?
Anyway, you're a life-saver. Thanks a ton!
thanks a lot !!!!!
as @leitchst points out, some things are missing
sudo: npm: command not found
sudo: webdriver-manager: command not found
how do you view the html, once you get it running?? Whats the difference in running this vs phantomjs. I run Xvfb -ac :99 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 & export DISPLAY=:99 but how and where is it running so I can see it?
So how can this be integrated with my existing Java code? Will it just work automatically now and use headless mode every time I start my java app? I'm using selenium chromedriver.
A little note for "webdriver-manager start" users:
the X display needs to be set for the webdriver server, since this is the one launching Chrome, not for the script that executes the tests.
This is particularly critical for Jenkins users, which may have selenium launched in a separate job and the tests launched in another.
@nousacademy This is headless, so the whole point is that you don't see it. If you need to debug, you can use VNC to spin up a quick server:
x11vnc --listen 127.0.0.1 -rfbport 5900 -display :99
Then, connect to VNC on localhost with any VNC client.
I have Jenkins install on master and selenium stuff on a slave, after installing chrome, xvfb, chromedriver and dependencies to make "headless" chrome/selenium work[install on salve] when i build the script i am having " org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchSessionException: no such session " and Capabilities [{message=unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
I have not install selenium through.
#sudo apt-get -y install python python-pip
#sudo pip install selenium
No idea why i'm getting this error.
Pls help

tnks a lot guy... you save my life
What's up with the comments? I guess we can use this as reference at least...
