kandi X-RAY | headless-selenium-for-win Summary

headless-selenium-for-win is a C++ library typically used in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, React, Electron, Selenium applications. headless-selenium-for-win has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

It is quite inconvenient that a browser window pops up when running Selenium tests. It might cause tests to fail because such window needs to hold user input focus. That is the case with IE at least. In Linux world, this is solved by running browsers in a virtual frame-buffer. Similar approach can be taken on Windows platform as well. Contrary to popular believe, Windows is fully multi-user OS. On top of that, it supports virtual desktops even though it is not very often used compared to Linux desktop environments. This application uses virtual desktops to run web browsers in so that they do not disturb the main user desktop. It can be used by any language supported by Selenium Webdriver (Java, C#, Ruby, ...).

You are trying to install C++ project as a pip install. This is not going to work. You can download the compiled exe from their releases

https://github.com/kybu/headless-selenium-for-win/releases

Extract the headless_ie_selenium.exe from above in system path. Then run something like below to get to Firefox

Vulnerabilities

No vulnerabilities reported

Install headless-selenium-for-win

Binaries can be downloaded from https://github.com/kybu/headless-selenium-for-win/releases.
Selenium uses a standalone executable called IEDriverServer.exe to drive the IE browser window. Selenium has to be instructed to use the 'headless_ie_selenium.exe' executable to run tests headlessly. headless_ie_selenium.exe creates a virtual desktop and runs IEDriverServer.exe inside of it. Any command line parameters are passed on to the IE driver. IEDriverServer.exe has to be stored in the searchable path. New virtual desktop name is HeadlessDesktop. If you want to create a unique desktop name each time the headless_ie_selenium.exe executable is run, variable HEADLESS_UNIQUE has to exist in the environment. Its value does not matter, unique desktop name will be generated as long as this variable is present.
