  • I'm not a Windows expert, but on Linux it helps to start a dedicated X server and start the tests in there. Could you do something similar, for example using VNC or RDP? – C-Otto Aug 29 '16 at 08:47
  • Try out this. http://triflejs.org/ It uses PhantomJS underneath which is a famous headless browser (Phantom is supported by Selenium). I haven't tried it out though. – Abhirath Mahipal Aug 29 '16 at 11:05
  • Is there any documentation on how to use triflejs in selenium? – anandhu Feb 28 '20 at 12:17

You can use phantonjs, HtmlUnitDriver or headless chrome

For HtmlUnitDriver 

WebDriver driver=new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.get("http://google.com");

For phantomjs first download ghostdriver and use 

System.setProperty("phantomjs.binary.path", "E:\\phantomjs-2.1.1-windows\\phantomjs.exe");  
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver();   
driver.get("http://google.com");

For chrome download the Chromedriver and use

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E:/software and tools/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("headless");
driver.get("http://google.com");

Use a headless browser like phantomjs, htmlunit to run with selenium webdriver.
