Codeceptjs Headless tests with https do not work

Question

When i run tests with https headless, the error below shows up

bash Error: move target out of bounds: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.

Running without --headless option, it works but slower. Running as http with --headless works too

CodeceptJS version: newest
NodeJS Version:4.2.6
Operating System: Mint

Configuration file:

Try using an x instead of a comma (,) when specifying the window size. Example:

--window-size=1920x1080

Maybe this is related to this:

https://www.chromium.org/for-testers/bug-reporting-guidelines/uncaught-securityerror-failed-to-read-the-localstorage-property-from-window-access-is-denied-for-this-document

You could create Chrome profile where you will turn off this option and load it by providing run parameter (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/user_data_dir.md):

"chromeOptions": {
      "args":[
              "--window-size=1200,1200",
              "--headless",
              "--user-data-dir=<YOURDIR>]
    }

Another solution you could check if UserAgent string for headless is different than normal browser, and if answer is yes override it with (Chrome 69 UA):

    "chromeOptions": {
      "args":[
              "--window-size=1200,1200",
              "--headless",
              "--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0 Safari"]
    }

And the last one is to turn off security policy by providing parameters:

--disable-web-security

--allow-running-insecure-content

"chromeOptions": {
  "args":[
          "--window-size=1200,1200",
          "--headless",
          "--disable-web-security",
          "--allow-running-insecure-content"]
}

You can try one of the possible solutions or combine them.
