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'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.
I'm trying to automate a webpage in selenium on a chrome browser which is integrated into a TeamCity server.
The code is working perfectly in my local machine.
File upload is done with Autoit scripts but when running through TeamCity on chrome browser ,typically as a headless chrome browser ,the script fails as it fails to find the next element(The file uplod fails).
This is not possible...
Headless browser cannot interact with os components(open dialog box)
You can use sendkeys to input field(browse button),which will not trigger open dialog box, since the browser is headless and you can skip using Autoit for headless browsers, which needs a Gui.
My objective is running automation based selenium webdriver from Jenkins, but jenkins cannot open browser when build job. so I modified my code to run in headless mode. since implementing headless browser, having some big question
is possible to handle end to end business on headless browser? cause end to end need inspect element as the process
if headless browser cannot handle, do you have some suggestion?
thanks, I'm very low to integrate automation
You don't have to change the code to run a Selenium test with Jenkins in headless mode.
You can use a Jenkins plugin of a headless X server to run your tests on an installed browser. You will even get screenshots.
I am writing test scripts in Selenium IDE for my application but everytime when I run the test suite it opens up browser and performs all the actions and logs failures, if any. My requirement is to invoke the test script from command prompt using .bat file and generate a test report. I am able to do the same but the problem is firefox opens up and executes the test case one by one. Can anyone please suggest me how to disable Firefox window from opening up? Or is it just not possible to do so? Or do I need to switch to Selenium Webdriver in order to achieve my requirement? My application contains Ajax upto a lot of extent.
I have read many commands used in Selenium IDE but I could not find any command which can serve this purpose. Please suggest!
If you know any programming language supported by selenium-webdriver (Ruby, Java, Python, C#) then you should try PhantomJS WebDriver which allow to run scripts without opening visual browser session
Selenium-IDE are mean to invoke browser, that's how the script react to all the exact browser behavior.
Only selenium Webdriver allow you to run your browser under "Headless" mode, which in fact, put Firefox under X-virtual frame buffer in background, as above #Andersson suggested.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to convert your Selenium-IDE script to your desire programming language at the moment.
If your concern is about "cluttered screen" in OS such as ubuntu, then your solution will be export the whole Selenium-IDE and firefox under another virtual X-display.
I'm doing test automation when I faced a problem a digest authentication I'm using watir for my automation, watir couldn't access the alert window which demands username and password, watir with its browser.alert.set method can only access username field.
I found a solution in sikuli but it needs UI and I need to run this test case on server which doesn't have any UI,I'm using headless in watir test cases can I have something like headless browser in UI to run this test case, like a dummy UI or something or how to run sikuli in headless mode.
Or any solution on my other question How to enter password in a popup using watir?
All I know is here:

I assume you need a view of the desktop, as Sikuli works visually recognizing objects, so there is no point running it in a headless environment.
I already use sikuli in headless mode.
Windows: see my answer.
Ubuntu: try Xvfb.
