pytest/sbase running tests locally do not load image in chrome, if open URL manually in browser, the images are loaded/displayed

[ayimaok]

I am running tests locally and in Gitlab CI, in firefox everything is good, in Chrome, the 3D image is not displayed, if I manually open Chrome browser on my machine, using the same URL, the 3D images are loaded and displayed.

Try “headless2” mode or “xvfb” mode. The default setting on Linux is regular “headless” mode, which might be slightly different, although faster than headed mode.

[ayimaok]

I would like to run these tests in headed mode locally, but also headless in the CI.
Both are giving the same error, either in Chrome headed or headless. "pytest tests/testFile.py --chrome" locally or "pytest path/to/test/ --headless"
If running tests locally, should "headless2" be run in the command line? Sorry a beginner.

[ayimaok]

Sorry, tried running "headless2" and "xvfb", did not help. It is fine using --firefox or --safari, but not in chrome, the 3D image and its container are not displayed

[mdmintz]

Would be --headless2 or --xvfb from pytest for Linux.

@mdmintz, no, when running tests using seleniumbase in Chrome the 3D graphics are absent, not displayed. When running tests using Selenium without seleniumbase, the 3D image is displayed. Neither --headless2 nor --xvfb are working. Would you have any other suggestion? Could it be possible that some version of Google Chrome is not compatible with the current version of seleniumbase?

[mdmintz]

The 3D graphics are disabled by default for performance. You can enable them with --enable-3d-apis:

SeleniumBase/README.md

Line 707 in f44d803

--enable-3d-apis # (Enables WebGL and 3D APIs.)

@mdmintz, I tried this too, does not work.
pytest -s -v check_pages/page_dom_check.py --number 20 --params resources/SSCX_Portal/sscx_dom_check.json --domain https://sscx-portal.kcp.bbp.epfl.ch/sscx-portal --enable-3d-apis --browser firefox

On MacBookAir 14.2, the above works on firefox, but not on chrome, as said, in headed or headless, --headless2 state with or without --enable-3d-apis.

[mdmintz]

There's also --swiftshader:

SeleniumBase/README.md

Line 708 in f44d803

--swiftshader # (Chrome "--use-gl=angle" / "--use-angle=swiftshader-webgl")

[ayimaok]

Does not work. I changed to running in Gitlab using firefox/geckodriver and now get HTTP method not allowed.

If you want to fully customize your driver options, use Syntax Format 9 with the settings you need.
