Can Selenium testing be done on gui less server I heard of something called headless browser testing but not sure

0 votes
Right now I'm working with Selenium on a Server and I don't think any of the common browser drivers support headless browser testing.
If i'm not wrong, you can create a virtual framebuffer to hide the browser window, but then that in truth is not a headless browser. Can anyone clarify this out for me?

Yes, you are indeed rigth. For Selenium WebDriver testing on servers or on machines where you do not have a GUI, use either HTMLUnit Driver or PhanthomJS driver. So you will have to similarly download the driver.exe from SeleniumHQ's website, provide the path in your code and most importantly import the required packages in your code. For python, you will do it something like this:

from selenium import webdriver
dr = webdriver.PhantomJS()
