Bigger browser window than 640x480

[PieterDC]

Some of my Selenium tests require a bigger screen resolution than 640x480 which is apparently the default resolution of xvfb.

vagrant@drupalvm:/var/www/drupalvm/selenium$ systemctl status selenium
* selenium.service - selenium test framework
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/selenium.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

vagrant@drupalvm:/var/www/drupalvm/selenium$

https://github.com/seleniumhq/selenium-google-code-issue-archive/issues/5828#issuecomment-192123706 explains how xvfb can be started with a bigger resolution. Which works when manually replaced ExecStart=/usr/bin/xvfb-run /usr/bin/java -client -jar {{ selenium_install_dir }}/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-{{ selenium_version }}.jar in templates/selenium-unit.j2 with ExecStart=/usr/bin/xvfb-run -s "-screen 0, 1920x1080x24" /usr/bin/java -client -jar {{ selenium_install_dir }}/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-{{ selenium_version }}.jar

It would be handy if ansible-role-selenium would support this with a parameter.

It looks like #19 is trying to add that parameter, along with some others.

Merged PR https://github.com/arknoll/ansible-role-selenium/pull/31 to help address this issue. Will be making a release shortly.

@arknoll: Thanks for merging! @PieterDC: The role has a new parameter selenium_xvfb_args which is set to the following value per default: --server-args='-screen 0, 1920x1080x24'

This seems to be exactly your use case.

Looks like this can be closed, as it's in 2.2.0!
