Why do you want to run IE/Edge on a headless mode ? Can you please help clarify the intent ?

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for your reply.  Many script are failing mouse over and tool tip validation while executing parallel but same script is passed while executing serial. So, I am trying to execute headless mode to avoid mouse over and tool tip validation failure.

How do you think running IE on headless mode (am not even sure IE has such a mode) is going to help you solve this ?

I don't know how to handle this issue, so I have tried headless mode option.  Can you please suggest me any other option to handle below issue (failing in Mouser Over and tool tip text validation) in parallel execution ?

Without seeing the source code that is causing this and the HTML page snippet its hard for anyone to say what may be causing this.
So please share the code that you are using to instantiate IE, along with the code that you are using to simulate mouse over etc.,

As far as I know, IE and Edge do not have a headless mode. Also, there are no docker containers for these browsers as well. Your best bet is to run them 1 per VM.

it is working fine after increasing wait time because it was failed due to sync issue.
