In the context of selenium, here are the steps given of how you can set up a test environment for automation of web-based testing using selenium with headless Firefox:-

Install necessary Components

Firstly, you would need to install the Python in your system. Then you should have the selenium library installed along with geckodriver.

Configuration of the Selenium for headless Firefox

Now you can configure the selenium for using the headless Firefox by setting the appropriate option.

Write and run automated test

Now you can run the automated test scripts by using the Selenium WebDriver command.

Here are the combined coding Given of the above steps by using the Python programming language:-

From selenium import webdriver

From selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

# Set Firefox options for headless mode

Firefox_options = Options()

Firefox_options.headless = True

# Set the path to the geckodriver executable

  Geckodriver_path = “path_to_geckodriver”

# Initialize the WebDriver with Firefox options

  Driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=geckodriver_path, options=firefox_options)

# Navigate to a webpage and perform automated test actions

  Driver.get(https://example.com)

# Add your test automation steps here

# Close the WebDriver

  Driver.quit()

Here is the combine coding given by using the java programming language:-

Import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
Import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
Import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions;
Public class HeadlessFirefoxExample {
    Public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Set Firefox options for headless mode

        FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
        Options.setHeadless(true);
        // Set the path to the geckodriver executable
        System.setProperty(“webdriver.gecko.driver”, “path_to_geckodriver”);
        // Initialize the WebDriver with Firefox options
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
        // Navigate to a webpage and perform automated test actions
        Driver.get(https://example.com);
        // Add your test automation steps here
        // Close the WebDriver
        Driver.quit();
    }
}

Here is the coding given in HTML:-




    Selenium with Headless Firefox



    [removed]

        // JavaScript code to demonstrate Selenium with headless Firefox setup

        Console.log(“Setting up Selenium with Headless Firefox”);

        // Write your test automation steps here

        // For demonstration purposes, you can use console.log() to simulate test actions

        Console.log(“Opening https://example.com”);

        Console.log(“Performing automated test actions”);

        // Simulate closing the WebDriver after test execution

        Console.log(“Closing WebDriver”);

        // End of Selenium setup script
