Start a browser

Build Environment
1

Hi,

Is it possible to configure to run a browser without using selenium? I’m using browser-sync to run mocha tests in the browser?

I’ve used https://circleci.com/docs/browser-debugging with no luck. I get channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refusederrors.

When I run google-chrome I get

google-chrome
[20677:20677:1222/085556:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(173)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.

Most likely you need to configure your SUID sandbox correctly
Created new window in existing browser session.

So I guess it’s possible but since I can’t debug I can’t see what’s going wrong

I turned on debug for ssh -v -v -v and managed to get it working! Now I just need to figure out why my test page doesn’t work.

4

I got everything setup and if I connect manually against my test page after enabling port forwarding everything works. The problem now seems how to open the page in the box. I want to access the http://localhost:9999/index.html but can’t figure out how. See above error when running google-chrome

So I’m stuck. The http server set’s everything up but then it just waits and the build times out. Trying to access the url with xvfb-run google-chrome https://localhost:9999/index.html doesn’t help.

Any ideas?

I installed run-headless-chrome which enables more chrome loggings and found out more errors!
