Backstop opening lots of Chrome tabs with `chromePath` option #795

Open matthew-dean opened 6 years ago

matthew-dean commented 6 years ago

When setting an explicit chromePath option, if you have a Chrome browser open (with an entirely different Chrome executable), Backstop will open numerous tabs with URLs like chrome-extension://gnhhdgbaldcilmgcpfddgdbkhjohddkj/devtools/inspector.html?ws=localhost:9229/devtools/page/65EA1DD450CFAEADD0B2C98DDCEAE5F3 in the active Chrome browser, instead of within the (headless, invisible) executable set in chromePath.

This wasn't happening before we set an explicit chromePath executable.

Not sure if this is a backstop issue or a puppeteer issue. Can you try this with a vanilla puppeteer script?

matthew-dean commented 6 years ago

We're using Chromy. What do you mean by vanilla script?

garris commented 6 years ago

Oh ok. Then what I mean is to.. 1 make a temp directory somewhere. 2 Install chromy into that directory.
3 Creat a script that should open a few pages (as opposed to tabs) and see if it works as expected (when setting a chrome path.)

That should tell you if it's a chromy behavior or it's something that backstop is doing.

You could also just go to the chromy repo and pose the question there. See what they say.
