Docker container that runs Selenium Chrome and Firefox drivers in headless mode (no Xvfb required).

What is this repository for?

This repository has a Dockerfile that creates a Robot Framework image and a container to run Robot scripts locally, this image contains Chrome and Firefox browsers running in headless mode (no Xvfb required) and a ".py" file with settings to run local scripts in BrowserStack or Saucelabs services, BrowserStack and Microsoft have a partnership so you get unlimited execution time to run scripts against Microsoft Edge browser.

Your script repository must be checked out as a git submodule of this repository. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-submodule

Pre-requisites

Docker should be already installed and running.

1) Create docker image and shared volume:

./build

This creates an image based on the Dockerfile then create a container sharing a volume between Docker and your local machine (robot-docker/*)

2) Run Robot tests:

./run_test.sh

This creates a new container using the shared volume (created in step 1), it will run any Robot Suite that it's under robot-docker/ and logs, reports and screenshots will be stored in robot-docker/

Optional 3) Remove container

./remove

Remove any container that belongs to the Robot Framework image and also Robot image is deleted.

This is sent to the container like this:
