How about a headless example

[fruch]

Something like this guy is trying todo ? http://www.grulic.org.ar/~mdione/glob//posts/implementing-selenium-with-python-and-qt/

Is it straight forward, and you connect it the same way ?

@hekra01 the shameless plug there was all about you 😉

Hi @fruch,

We thought about headless webdriver and think it would be handled better either at host or Qt level.

• On a linux host it is straightforward:

  $ sudo apt-get install xvfb
  $ xvfb-run -a WebDriver --verbose

• Or this can be done via Docker: https://github.com/cisco-open-source/qtwebdriver/pull/30

  # After building the Dockerfile, run the container, specifying the port mapping to use
  $ docker run -ti --rm -p 9531:9517 <image> --verbose

• Or at Qt level, by passing to the QApplication the right QPA plugins:

  $ export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen
  $ WebDriver --verbose

  See spec: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtest-overview.html

  -platform name This command line argument applies to all Qt applications, but might be especially useful in the context of auto-testing. By using the "offscreen" platform plugin (-platform offscreen) it's possible to have tests that use QWidget or QWindow run without showing anything on the screen. Currently the offscreen platform plugin is only fully supported on X11.
