The recommendation is to use Chrome instead.

A lot of Government departments can't use Chrome 👎

Chromium would be run on CI so not necessarily on GC computers. It's also worth mentioning that if you don't have access to modern tools, chances are you can develop modern solutions.

PhantomJS should not be simply replaced as it would have to remain as a fallback for systems that don't have an adequate Chrome installation. As commented by Shawn, a lot of GC computers are locked down, so they may not have Chrome.

What about a drop down in the configuration menu to select the headless browser, one would be phantomJS and the other Chrome headless

irwink commented 5 years ago

Headless Chrome will be used as headless browser if it is installed on the system. Requirements are Chrome - version 69 or newer node - https://nodejs.org/en/download/ puppeteer - https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer/ If headless chrome is not available, the tool will fallback to PhantomJS.

This will be included in the next WPSS_Tool release.

Headless chrome can be used in version 6.11.0. Fallback to PhantomJS if Chrome is not available.
