Question

I need to test with selenium chrome driver in Java. But chrome window should\'t be opened. Assume this a product and no window should be opened.

I like this article.

Basically you need to add PhantomJS dependency in pom (I like maven for dependency management):

    com.github.detro.ghostdriver
    phantomjsdriver
    1.1.0

And run code

    System.setProperty( "phantomjs.binary.path", "c:\\path\\to\\phantomjs-1.9.8-windows\\phantomjs.exe" );
    WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver();
    driver.get("http://www.google.com");
    driver.quit();

It worked for me with versions:

• PhantomJS 1.9.8
• PhantomJS driver 1.1.0
• Selenium 2.44.0
