sbVirtualDisplay (💻)

A customized pyvirtualdisplay for use with SeleniumBase automation.

Usage example:

from sbvirtualdisplay import Display

display = Display(visible=0, size=(1440, 1880))
display.start()

# Run browser tests in a headless environment

display.stop()

Or as a context manager:

with Display(visible=0, size=(1440, 1880)):
    # Run browser tests in a headless environment
    ...

When to use:

If you need to run browser tests on a headless machine (such as a Linux backend), and you can't use a browser's headless mode (such as Chrome's headless mode), then this may help. For example, Chrome does not allow extensions in headless mode, so if you need to run automated tests on a headless Linux machine and you need to use Chrome extensions, then this will let you run those tests using a virtual display.

  • Xvfb is required for this to work.
