I have one question

If I run headless then how will my selenium code will will take elements ??


It is showing like this

With headless
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)



But normally it is running without headless

How about running headless using Jenkins

[ankitanavgire]

Hi Mukesh, my automation scripts involve user interactions, for.eg. file upload where I am using robot class (not recommended) to interact with the windows file explorer to paste the file path for the application's browse file functionality. Now, since my scripts require user interactions, it is better to run my scripts in non-headless mode. Could you please provide a solution to either handle this browse files/file uploading scenarios in selenium itself or provide steps to execute the scripts by invoking the browse etc through jenkins

In a headless mode if we try to click on the copy link button and try to check if it is copied on clipboard or not. Then it's not working. Is there any solution for that in headless mode in selenium.

In headless mode, we are not opening browser. Does It really need driver.quit() line?
