Follow-up to a pairing session between Jeff and Željko on 1/29/2013. In order to make headless browser testing available in as many WMF repositories as possible, we should add headless support[1] to the env.rb and hooks.rb setup in the mediawiki-selenium Rubygem[2].

Should note that in order to run headless browser tests, the test environment(s) needs to have two additional components installed: a) Headless Rubygem[1] b) Xvfb binary for your OS[2] [1] http://rubygems.org/gems/headless [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb
Change 110205 had a related patch set uploaded by Zfilipin: WIP run browsers headlessly if HEADLESS environment variable is set to true https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/110205
We had some browser tests running on integration-selenium-driver.pmtpa.wmflabs which is an Ubuntu Precise instance. xvfb package is 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.14 There is apparently no package for ruby gems headless but it is going to be a dependency of mediawiki-selenium apparently ( https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/110205/3/mediawiki-selenium.gemspec,unified )
Change 110335 had a related patch set uploaded by Zfilipin: WIP run browsers headlessly if HEADLESS environment variable is set to true https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/110335

I still have to test this with repositories that have at_exit hook. Looks like only VisualEditor has the hook, and it should probably be moved to the gem.
at one point CirrusSearch had this hook. It's in the README, but I don't see the hook itself any more.

Zeljko are you sure it is fixed ? Jeff reverted https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/110390
But then he introduced the same thing in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/110606 :)
