Launch chrome browser inside a circleci machine for testing by Selenium

Build Environment Running Tests

Hi,

I am trying to launch several Selenium tests through your circleci. As I am using webdriver for chrome, the GUI browser is launched to verify all use cases.

The thing is, if I connect by ssh rebuild option, everything works but in an usual job don’t.

My app is deployed in K8S and I get the kubectl get svc in order to get the IP and then launch the “baremetal” Selenium tests. The Selenium tests are not containerized because I think is not necessary if I can launch in a circleci machine instead a docker. But the behaviour is the described below.

The job is decribed as follow:

componenttests:
machine:
image: circleci/classic:201808-01
environment:
K8S_VERSION: v1.10.0
KUBECONFIG: /home/circleci/.kube/config
MINIKUBE_VERSION: v0.30.0
MINIKUBE_WANTUPDATENOTIFICATION: false
MINIKUBE_WANTREPORTERRORPROMPT: false
MINIKUBE_HOME: /home/circleci

steps:
- checkout
- run:
name: setup kubectl
command: |
curl -Lo kubectl https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/{K8S_VERSION}/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl && sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/ mkdir -p {HOME}/.kube
touch {HOME}/.kube/config - run: name: setup minikube command: | curl -Lo minikube - run: name: setup helm command: curl - run: name: start minikube command: | sudo -E minikube start --vm-driver=none --cpus 2 --memory 2048 --kubernetes-version={K8S_VERSION} &> $HOME/minikube.log 2>&1 < /dev/null
- run:
name: wait for minikube
command: |
JSONPATH=’{range .items[]}{@.metadata.name}:{range @.status.conditions[]}{@.type}={@.status};{end}{end}’;
until kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath="$JSONPATH" 2>&1 | grep -q “Ready=True”; do
sleep 1;
done
- run:

# make default account cluster-admin

helm install helm/atoperural -n atoperural --set volume.enabled=false

  - run:
      name: launch component test
      shell: /bin/bash
      command: |
         ps $$
         whoami
         sudo apt install -y xvfb
         url=`kubectl get svc | grep 'atoperural ' | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f 3`
         mvn -f ct -Datoperural=${url} test

Any idea, help?

Thanks in advance.
