Chrome on windowsservercore?

See original GitHub issue

I’d like to automate some web testing with selenium/chromedriver/chrome using windowsservercore containers. It seems it should be possible to run chrome in headless mode but I’m not having any luck.

I was hoping you might have an image/dockerfile I could use but it doesn’t appear so. Is this something which isn’t possible with Windows Containers?

@StefanScherer Yes, windowsservercore image on Windows 10 machine. Whole dockerfile is mentioned in my comment. BTW: We were able to run this container only on Windows 10. We tried also Windows Server Core 1803 as host, but without any luck.

I was able to run selenium in windows containers. This works on my development Windows 10 machine. Rigth now I am struggling to run this on Windows server core 1803 host.

FROM openjdk:windowsservercore-1803

WORKDIR /app

COPY ./selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar ./

COPY ./chromedriver.exe ./

COPY ./ChromeSetup.exe ./

RUN .\ChromeSetup.exe /silent /install

EXPOSE 4444

CMD [ "java -jar ./selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar"]
