Answer 1

Headless Tests in "WINDOWS7" using WATIR ? You can use phantomjs which is super easy to configure. Follow these easy steps:

1. Download phantomjs from here
2. Extract to desired folder, once extracted you just need phantomjs.exe

3. Now where ever you instantiating the browser, use it like this:

    phantom_dir = "location of phantomjs.exe" ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}#{File::PATH_SEPARATOR}#{ghost_dir}" browser = Watir::Browser.new :"phantomjs" 

To run headless on other OS follow easy steps here

You have to run it on a linux box. Xvfb doesn't exist in Windows or Mac
