My colleague from automatic testing says that phantomjs actually is much more stable than chrome...
- onion2k 10y agoThat's true, but in my experience the instability of Chrome comes from opening and closing it's windows repeatedly as a large test suite often does - occasionally it doesn't seem to like opening a new instance while another is closing. Headless mode should resolve that problem.
- holtalanm 10y agoThere was also the issue a few years ago (last time I wrote automated scripts) where the Chrome driver for Selenium would go too fast for the browser to keep up, causing false failures. I had to implement a "wait between actions" feature to handle it, while Phantom had no such problems. I'm assuming this will not be an issue with headless Chrome, since I think half of the problem was due to graphical rendering.
