JMeter WebDriver 采样器 - 无头 Firefox

Question

Is it possible to run Firefox headless with WebDriver Sampler? I have used the "Use Chrome headless mode" option with Chrome before, but I don't see that option in Firefox Driver Config.

Perhaps this can be done in the actual sampler, by setting options to 'browser' in the code below?

WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart() 
WDS.browser.get('http://jmeter-plugins.org') 
WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd()

Thank you.

There is no easy/GUI way of doing this using WebDriver Sampler (unless you patch FirefoxDriverConfig to include FirefoxBinary and pass to it --headless argument like:

FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary();
firefoxBinary.addCommandLineOptions("--headless");

Another option would be switching to JSR223 Sampler to initialise the FirefoxDriver class yourself from the scratch.

And last but not the least, if you're about to execute your Selenium tests on ie Linux machine which doesn't have GUI you can create a virtual display using Xvfb so Firefox would run attached to this virtual desktop. See Headless Execution of Selenium Tests in Jenkins for more details on implementing this on different operating systems.
