Chrome 128 - window-size is ignored (chrome-for-testing, headless, linux)

[yblatti]

I have a Symfony app (7.1).
For e2e tests I use phpunit + symfony/panther + Chrome for Testing headless (on Debian Linux bullseye).

Since Chrome 128 has been released, my CI fails as the --window-size chrome argument is ignored.

I wrote a reproducer here : https://github.com/yblatti/repro-panther-screen-size-chrome

It seems to indicates that this has been introduced with Chrome 128.0.6575.0.

I have tried to have a look at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/128.0.6542.0..128.0.6543.0?pretty=fuller&n=10000
... but this way out of my league.

[headless] Change --headless switch default to 'new'

Specifying the --headless switch will activate new Headless mode.
Old Headless mode is still available if requested explicitly with --headless=old.

It seems that headless mode is changing, and we can use --headless=old to keep the previous behavior (for how long tho..)

Any hint on how to set size with new headless ?

According to their docs, the --window-size flag is supported by both the old and the new mode: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/chromium/new-headless

It's maybe a bug in Chrome?

Thanks for your time and feedback @dunglas :)

This worked for me. Just in case, someone is looking for a quick solution. I am not sure if the bug is solved.

$browser = Client::createChromeClient(
            arguments: [
                '--window-size=1400,800',
                '--headless=new',
            ],
 );
