Tips

Using with Selenium

Configure Selenium to launch Chrome in headless mode:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions().addArguments("--headless=new");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Configure Protractor to use bundled ChromeDriver

To configure Protractor to use the version of ChromeDriver bundled in this image, set chromeDriver in Protractor's conf.js file:

exports.config = {
  chromeDriver: '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
}

Chrome crashes

Chrome uses /dev/shm for runtime data which is 64MB by default under Docker. If this is not sufficient then this can cause Chrome to crash. Possible workarounds:

• Increase the size of /dev/shm
• Mount /dev/shm to the host's
• Start Chrome with the flag --disable-dev-shm-usage
