minimal-chrome-on-heroku
Getting Chrome up and running on Heroku!
This is a sister repo of jormon/minimal-chrome-on-heroku-xvfb which operates on the cedar-14 stack using xvfb.
I tried to keep the number of gems as minimal as possible, though I did include Thor for potential future uses with different configuration flags, etc.
Here are the rough needs to get this to work / notes:
- There are some very hard-to-google configuration flags to set on your Chrome options, pay attention in the
new_browsermethod if you're following along at home. - This uses watir for ease of scripting, but feel free to use raw Selenium.
Deployment
You can use the following button to deploy this to a test instance and check it out yourself!
Use
Once you deploy, from your commandline, simply run the following command with heroku toolbelt:
$ heroku run -a <insert-created-app-name> "thor runner google"
