[darshanmm]

Hi Raghav,
Can you please create a video on devops basics(simple setup where tester can understand the entire process) for automation testing?

[GrowYourselfForever]

Hi Raghav thanks for the info.I am running my code using selenium python .code is running fine without headless but giving timeout exception with headless chrome

[manojbhagat]

Open a 3 browser at a time for example – Chrome Browser, Firefox and Microsoft Edge (Use a headless mode for choosing browser).

[techyboikrish]

Hi Raghav, Switching window handles doesnt work in headless mode. Can you please make a video to solve this problem?

[starSha]

I thought running a script in headless browser may be a big challenge. Your video made it very simple. excellent. Thanks. A small thought came in my mind. In headless mode do we need to use browser.close() at the end?

[abhijeetdhumal]

What if we find element or elements using css selector and try run script containing these element/s in headless chrome? Will it execute or throw exception? What will be the solution if it throws exception?

[vaibhavkarkera]

Hi Raghav, how to open new browser in headless mode for same instance? It still opens with head

[vidyacollections]

is it possible for us to run selenium cases in non-headless option on centos operating system?

[suyeshkumar]

Hi Raghav,
One quick question, I'm starting with the automation and I've seen that we require a base url to start with. I want to know that if i need to integrate these tests in the cicd pipeline how is that possible? Cause we won't be having a base url at that time as we are going for a build for some code.

[manoharanchinnaiyan]

Hi Raghav, Your videos were very well explained, Great Thanks.! Appreciate all your efforts.
Just 1 question, I used embedded credentials method for my application for chrome authentication and it works well.
When I am using headless mode with wrong credentials also, the application logins successfully and it works. Could you clarify pl?
Note: My desktop login and application login credentials are same.

Hi Raghav,
I am getting below error when trying to use the above code
error
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

[nesreenmohd]

thank you for this piece of information regarding to '--headleass'. I am using a Protractor to test an angular website and when I am running a test inside jenkins pipeline. I have added this option inside chrome options but I am getting error of ' Could not find Angular on page ' for all the tests. All the tests are successfully executed locally and the chrome and chrome driver are match. What do you think could be the problem?

[juancamiloa.n]

Hello Raghav. Once again thank you for share your knowledge. Just a quick question: There is an option to use headless chrome test using JMeter? Thanks,

[RoyerAdames]

[jalagamsruthi]

Hi, I am getting an error says that "could not start a new session. Response code 500. This version of Chrome driver supports Chrome version 105"
