How to run headless REMOTE chrome using robot framework

Question

I\'m trying to run chrome headless with my robot framework tests suites. I managed to do it independtly with python using selenium as follows:

options = webd         


        

Answer 1

Try out these two keywords:

Open Chrome
    [Arguments]    ${url}    ${lang}
    ${chrome_options}=    Evaluate    sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()    sys, selenium.webdriver
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    headless
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    disable-gpu
    Create Webdriver    Chrome    chrome_options=${chrome_options}
    Go To    ${url}

Open Remote Chrome
    [Arguments]    ${url}    ${remote_url}    ${lang}
    ${chrome_options}=    Evaluate    sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()    sys, selenium.webdriver
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    headless
    Call Method    ${chrome_options}    add_argument    disable-gpu
    Open Browser    ${url}    Chrome    remote_url=${remote_url}    desired_capabilities=${chrome_options.to_capabilities()}

First one will launch a local chrome, while the second one is to launch a remote chrome. If you need to be able to handle the remote vs. local into a single keyword, you can create a wrapper around these two with a boolean argument that will determine which keyword to call.
