Puppeteer – Non Headless Execution
”;
By default, Puppeteer executes the test in headless Chromium. This means if we are running a test using Puppeteer, then we won”t be able to view the execution in the browser.
To enable execution in the headed mode, we have to add the parameter: headless:false in the code.
To begin, follow Steps 1 to 2 from the Chapter of Basic Test on Puppeteer, which are as follows −
Step 1 − Create a new file within the directory where the node_modules folder is created (location where the Puppeteer and Puppeteer core have been installed).
The details on Puppeteer installation is discussed in the Chapter of Puppeteer Installation.
Right-click on the folder where the node_modules folder is created, then click on the New file button.
Step 2 − Enter a filename, say testcase1.js.
Step 3 − Add the below code within the testcase1.js file created.
//adding Puppeteer library const pt = require(''puppeteer''); //adding headless flag to false pt.launch({headless:false}).then(async browser => { //browser new page const p = await browser.newPage(); //set viewpoint of browser page await p.setViewport({ width: 1000, height: 500 }) //launch URL await p.goto(''https://www.tutorialspoint.com/about/about_careers.htm''); })
Step 4 − Execute the code with the command given below −
node <filename>
So in our example, we shall run the below mentioned command −
node testcase1.js
After the command has been successfully executed, we shall see the execution getting triggered in a headed mode.
