Is it production ready? about fantoccini HOT 6 CLOSED

What you're looking for is a browser than can run in "headless" mode. phantomjs is a relatively common tool for that. Google Chrome also now has support for --headless , and Firefox is getting it too in not too long. They both need you to run a "driver" for automation though. Chrome's is called chromedrive, and Firefox's is called geckodriver. I've had some issues getting the Chrome --headless flag to run correctly though, so another workaround (on Linux) is to use xvfb-run. That will spawn the browser window on a fake X screen, which causes nothing to appear.

That depends on your requirements for "production ready". It has not been used in production anywhere as far as I know, though I've been using it myself for a couple of smaller projects. I don't think there are any major instabilities or known defects at the moment, though deploying it in a larger environment is the only way to find out.

Ok. Is there a way to run it on a server, that is, without a physical display?

from fantoccini.

yeah, but what about a rust library for xvfb-run? or can that a shell script, for example? for python I had to use a library in python for xvfb

from fantoccini.

I'm not sure what you're asking? xvfb-run is a command-line tool. So you would run, say:

$ xvfb-run chromedriver --port=4444

That could also go in a shell script (just use & to make it run in the background). You can also launch it from Rust by using std::process::Command.
