I'm working a project, and I would like to know/understand how can I open the real chrome with a selenium script in python, and run multiple instances.

We are recording test scripts with Selenium IDE on a salesforce website without lightning. Tests run fine in selenium IDE but when we try using selenium side runner it fails. It cannot locate element by linkText.
I am trying to automate a webpage testing using selenium with golang from here. When I run this example, I don't find the browser window opening. Looks like it is running in headless mode. How do I run it in GUI browser mode?
I had redhat Linux server command line but there is no GUI for that and I need to run selenium code on this server with firefox. As I am new to selenium so I am not sure whether it will work or not.
For achieving this I had install Firefox on my Redhat linux machine successfully but not able to trigger that as it is showing no display found.
Is there any other way to achieve this for headless browsing, where virtually a firefox will be opened and selenium code can be executed without GUI. Is it possible to do??
You can use HtmlUnitDriver of selenium to use headless browsing but it will not open firefox and may be not loading all content to it's cache as same as firefox
Refer Below:-
https://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/HtmlUnitDriver
Another thing you can use is Phantomjs with selenium Webdriver. This is most using pattern by industries for headless browsing
Refer below:-

Yes you can trigger selenium file using command line
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/testng/testng_executing_tests.htm
Bash file is running fine in windows for testng but it is not working in linux/mac
Now if still your firefox is not opening then it is basically issue of some setting with your OS with firefox
Refer that too :-

May be you have problem with some permission in red hat
Hope it will help you :)
How do I run test cases made with Selenium IDE (Firefox Plugin) in a headless browser?
When I create test cases with the firefox plugin it saves them as .html files.
I am trying to setup a way of running them in a headless browser, (using phantomJS or another tool/lib). I have seen many people mention running firefox in a hidden frame, but this is not the same as headless (ie. PhantomJS)
I have already figured out how to run selenium test cases from command line, but only in firefox or ie, I can't get it to run .html testcases on phantomjs:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar -htmlSuite "*firefox" "http://127.0.0.1" "ts-ProjectList/TestSuite.html" "ProjectList-results.html"
I know the IDE can export test cases in different languages, but I want non-tech team members to be able to create tests using the firefox plugin.
Have you looked at http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/headless-functional-testing-with-selenium-and-phantomjs--net-30545?
Changing "*firefox" to phantomjs should get you started.
You'll need the phantomJS driver:

I have been given the following job from my boss:
three years ago a former employee created selenium tests for our project and committed them via eclipse
now I have to update the tests due to the fact that the software has changed through time.
I created new IDE tests, instead of editing the old ones.
I have committed them through CVS in the project folder and I access them via a browser (selenium has some folder in the project)
when I run these tests via IDE, they run fine, but when I run them via the TEstRUnner that is in the old selenium installation, there are a lot of errors.
Should I install new version of Selenium in the project folder and what should it be?
Or should I just run the tests from IDE instead? (I read somewhere that TestRunner will be deprecated)
How are tests made in IDE run through Web Driver?
Have you looked at Selenium Builder? It supports migrating existing scripts, works well with Sauce Labs and there is also a Jenkins plugin](https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Selenium+Builder+Plugin) available.
Tests built using Selenium IDE are built using Selenium RC (1.0), and selenium WebDriver is the foundation of Selenium 2.0. Selenium has a migration document for this transition. In moving to Web Driver, you might be required to code the tests yourself, rather than using the point and click Selenium IDE.
Additionally, there is a hybrid approach for using Selenium RC code on Selenium Web Driver: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/03_webdriver.jsp#alternative-back-ends-mixing-webdriver-and-rc-technologies
In order to run the Web Driver tests, you will need to have a selenium server or local browser to execute these tests. Some examples are SauceLabs, Selenium Grid, a standalone Selenium Server, or I believe you allow Web Driver to directly control the browser on the computer executing the code.
