Use Selenium with Chromium Browser

Question

In the Selenium options (on Firefox) I can find Custom browser.

Is it possible to use this option to run a Selenium test in Chromiu

Answer 1

Yes, it is...

In a Linux you can install, to use without a xwindow (ex.: in a webserver) too... Its nice to some tests.

apt install chromium-shell 

In a code, you'll need a chromedriver, look this:

chromedriver

In this case i'll use a python code, to open a chromium in a headless mode:

def startBot():
    chrome_options = Options()
    chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
    chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
    chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
    driver = webdriver.Chrome('/opt/chromedriver85', options=chrome_options)
    #driver.set_window_size(1366, 728)
    #aguardar carregamento em segundos
    driver.implicitly_wait(5)

    print("get url...")
    driver.get("https://www.google.com")

Obs.:

A headless browser is a great tool for automated testing and server environments where you don't need a visible UI shell. (source)

That's it!
