Any way to have it run the tests in the background? #7

First of all, I really love wbench. Awesome stuff. That being said, is there any way to make it not open and close google chrome in the foreground to run the tests? It would be much nicer if that stuff ran in the background.

Thanks!

As far as i'm aware, there's not an easy way to do this, wbench uses selenium to drive the browser, we need it open to grab information from the browser.

You could change the browser to be a headless driver that doesn't open in the foreground, for example phantomjs:

wbench -b phantomjs http://www.google.com/

You'll need phantomJS installed, but this doesn't seem to work at the moment, phantomJS browser doesn't seem to have window.performance.timing defined.

Hello! Since version 59 Google Chrome is being shipped with a headless feature and it is easy to run headless with chrome: --headless.

There is an way to pass flags to Chrome with wbench?

Thanks!
