Is there any possibility of running the UI script in headless mode when we use the robot functions and * robot.click('google.png')

I am trying to run the script in headless mode(* configure driver = { type: 'chrome', headless: true } ) but it's failing due to usage of robot functions like

robot.click('google.png')
robot.input('oliver' + Key.ENTER) etc. Kindly suggest the solution to run in headless mode for this scenario.

If we combine API and UI in a single feature and running it in an headless mode the script fails. Because of API Scenario. Is there is a way to trigger in Headless mode for combining this two scenario. Because the response of API is passed in UI field. And the requirment is to keep it in a single feature file itself.

Thanks in Advance!

@oliver I think your best option is to contribute code or find someone who can do it for you. I can't think of any other options. robot is mostly used for desktop (windows) app automation – Peter Thomas Jun 06 '22 at 12:34
