What are some examples of using Selenium in headless mode?

Selenium in headless mode allows you to run tests without a GUI. For example, you can use Chrome or Firefox in headless mode to automate web applications.

Can you show me a code snippet for using Selenium with Chrome in headless mode?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Python:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = Options()
options.headless = True
service = Service('path/to/chromedriver')

with webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options) as driver:
    driver.get('https://example.com')
    print(driver.title)

What are the advantages of using headless mode?

Headless mode is faster since it doesn't render the UI, uses less memory, and is ideal for automated testing in CI/CD pipelines.

Are there any limitations to using Selenium in headless mode?

Yes, some limitations include difficulty in debugging, potential differences in rendering compared to full browser mode, and some websites may detect headless browsers.
