Space Automation (ci) maven build that needs a headless chrome...

Created April 07, 2021 13:01

Hi,

My project is built using Maven, and as part of its build it runs a number of Selenium tests. For this I would need to have a headless Chrome with chromerunner present inside the container.

I started with something like this:

job("Build and run tests") {
    container(displayName = "Run mvn install", image = "maven:3.8.1-jdk-11") {
        service("chromedp/headless-shell:latest") {
            alias("browser")
        }
        shellScript {
            content = """
               mvn clean install
            """
        }
    }
}

which at least seems to start the container and start the build, but I'm not sure on how to configure the connections..

The maven build itself starts a Jetty server with the code under test; maven then runs the integration tests which more or less should connect run chromerunner and connect to that jetty inside the main container- but I do not really have a clue how..

Is this something that can be done?

For posterity: I managed to do this with an image that contained both Maven, Java 11 AND chrome+chromerunner, using the following:

job("Build and run tests") {
    container(displayName = "Run mvn install", image = "markhobson/maven-chrome:jdk-11") {
        shellScript {
            content = """
               mvn clean install
            """
        }
    }
}

Many thanks to Mark Hobson ;)
