https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D219188 Bug ID: 219188 Summary: www/chromium support for --headless flag Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: chromium@FreeBSD.org Reporter: reshadpatuck1@gmail.com Assignee: chromium@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(chromium@FreeBSD.org) I want to use chrome with the --headless flag on a server without an X serv= er running to get screenshots and/or print-to-pdf of a page. Without running a display server, chrome errors out immediately because GTK= can not open the display. root@FreeBSD:~ # echo $DISPLAY DISPLAY: Undefined variable. root@FreeBSD:~ # chrome --headless --disable-gpu --no-sandbox --screenshot --verbose http://example.com [81628:457269248:0510/101444.736930:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(284)] Gtk: cannot open display:=20 --- When I try running it with xvfb. root@FreeBSD:~ # service dbus onestart root@FreeBSD:~ # Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x24 & root@FreeBSD:~ # setenv DISPLAY :0 root@FreeBSD:~ # chrome --version Chromium 58.0.3029.81=20 root at FreeBSD:~ # chrome --headless --disable-gpu --no-sandbox --screensh= ot --verbose http://example.com This seems to just hang (runs on the command line without any output). My guess is that chrome is droping the --headless flag and going ahead and initializing as if it were running on an actual system --- On a debian system with chromium (57.0.2987) installed from the package repository, the command seems to run without an X sever (even xvfb) running beforehand. root@debian:~# apt-get install chromium ... root@debian:~# chromium --version Chromium 57.0.2987.98 Built on 8.7, running on Debian 8.7 root@debian:~# chromium --headless --disable-gpu --screenshot --verbose http://example.com [0507/071136.814541:WARNING:audio_manager.cc(321)] Multiple instances of AudioManager detected [0507/071136.814714:WARNING:audio_manager.cc(278)] Multiple instances of AudioManager detected [0507/071137.002908:INFO:headless_shell.cc(378)] Screenshot written to file screenshot.png. The command exits without error and the screenshot.png file is in the folder where the command ran from. --- Some reference links: - https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/headless/README.md - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/58.0.3029.81/headless/ --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
