Selenium GUI tests keep failing when run from Jenkins (no such element)

Question

Selenium GUI tests are not getting executed after the build. Everything is getting done in Jenkins using Maven.

TESTS

And so on (there are quite a lot of tests). Then:

Results :

And so on. At the very end of the log it gives me:

I run the same tests on the local machine from IDEA and it works perfectly well.

Another thing is that (I am not sure whether it is supposed to be like this) when I run my tests from Jenkins, Chrome is not getting opened for some reason. However, I cannot see the reason why and errors do not seem very informative to me. Any ideas? Thanks!

You need to execute GUI tests via Jenkins in headless mode. Setup in Linux below: http://scraping.pro/use-headless-firefox-scraping-linux/

OR you may have to use a head less browsers
