Nightwatch: Support for Chrome Puppeteer

[Geczy]

How can we implement support for https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer ?

[guimap]

Maybe u can use nightwatch inside of pupeteer.
But whats do u exactly want to do ?

[sukrosono]

puppeteer is headless chrome, Clearly what he want is test in chrome but in headless mode.
surely i also want this feature and also want to make a PR. But looks like the maintainer are offline recently.

Any updated on this?

[rizqyhi]

Looking for this to. Wonder if we can use its API (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/api.md) inside the test.

Closing as stale.

@beatfactor What do you mean by stale? Is this already implemented?

[beatfactor]

No. We have no plans to implement this and no one else seems to be willing to do so, and it's been open long enough.

Considering that Nightwatch calls the chrome binaries for you, and that Nightwatch allows JS files for config, you can do the following to get puppeteer to work.

nightwatch.js

process.env.CHROME_BIN = require('puppeteer').executablePath();
module.exports = {
...
}

When the config is read, it will change the path within the terminal of where the binary for google-chrome is, then it will proceed to launch it from that directory. you can combo it with the headless flags for CI.

Above solution with CHROME_BIN didn't work for me (although it works with Karma), but I managed to make it work by adding binary Chrome option:

        chromeOptions: {
          binary: require('puppeteer').executablePath(),
          args: [
            '--no-sandbox'
          ]
        }
