Running karate tests on chrome with chromedriver inside docker

Question

I would like to run my karate tests using the chromedriver and chrome present in a docker container. How can this be achieved? I could only find the documentation on the native version of chrome here

Answer 1

We only support chrome native via Docker. Note that you can use existing Selenium "Grid" infra, for eg see these:

You can consider creating your own Docker image (which is very common) or use an existing "Selenium flavored" one. Do note that Karate is open-source. Maybe you would be interested to contribute this Docker container:)
