Automated tests too slow on Jenkins

Question

I'm running Selenium Webdrive tests on Jenkins (Debian 9 without GUI) using Chromedriver and xvfb, and they are extremely slow as compared to local execution. A click is done in 4 minutes comparing to 300 ~ 400 milliseconds on my local machine.

the details of the environment are as follows :

Jenkins (running on Debian 9 without GUI) + Xvfb
Chrome = 67.0.3396.99
Java.version: '1.8.0_171'
Chromedriver Version: 2.40.565383
Selenium-java = 3.13.0

(The test project is in java (maven) with the framework TestNg v6.14.3)

I tried also Firefox, it's not as long as Chrome but it's still long compared to local

Any ideas ?

What machine running these tests? Master or slave? Physical/docker/vm ? — AutomatedOwl, Jul 13 '18 at 09:49
@AutomatedOwl Yes but i'm using the Xvfb not the --headless argument of Chrome, i tried the --headless but it does not seem to change anything — Eric, Jul 13 '18 at 09:55
Try to increase your vm resources or running on headless chrome — AutomatedOwl, Jul 13 '18 at 09:55
@AutomatedOwl, the same thing, always slow with the headless mode — Eric, Jul 13 '18 at 09:57

I also have same issue. Headless Chrome (Xvfb) on Jenkins(Centos7) or Chrome on my laptop doesn't make any difference. Master or Slave doesnt make any difference. Looking forward for an answer. — paul, Apr 27 '19 at 04:43

Try these two ChromeOptions:

options.addArguments("--proxy-server='direct://'");
options.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
