I have just tried running Xvfb from a Pre-build script. I first tried the same command that the plugin created, but just from command line on the server: Xvfb :1 -screen 0 -fbdir /var/lib/jenkins/xvfb-106-4356636144193454909.fbdir I get error: Invalid screen configuration -fbdir for -screen 0
If I run just: Xvfb :1 & export DISPLAY=:1 then my tests fail with: Error: no display specified because, of course, there is no way to export a variable from a pre-build script. :( On Thursday, 10 December 2015 13:19:19 UTC-7, V.
