Describe the user story

Chrome's Headless mode has got an upgrade recently: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/chromium/new-headless

It states that the new Headless mode is better for automated tests. Is it going to be used in Hermione?

I compared the automated test results with headless option to the results of the headless=new test run. There were significantly less failed tests in the second case . So it looks like the new Headless mode is much more compatible with the headful mode.

Hi

Thank you for the information. I read the description - it sounds really cool. We'll take it in our plans

But right now, instead of using the headless option, you can set the desired value in the browser arguments:

chrome: {
    desiredCapabilities: {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        'goog:chromeOptions': {
            args: ['--headless=new']
        }
    },
}

you can try it in hermione@8.5.0
