Is there a way to bypass Chrome geolocation dialog

问题:

I faced this problem, when automating an application with protractor.

Once I open a home page I get geolocation dialog with Block/Allow buttons, which didn't let proceed without selection either option

It turned out, that this dialog is not an instance of alert, that's why browser.switchTo().alert().confirm() didn't work

Passing '--disable-notifications' argument to Chrome also didn't solve the problem

Research online didn't give any positive results. How to solve it?

回答1:

The solution to the problem is to pass "prefs": {'profile.default_content_setting_values.geolocation': 2} to capabilities object in your protractor.config.js

Below is another option that does pretty much the same thing.

So chrome may take an argument --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome which specifies profile to open chrome with. If profile doesn’t exist at specified directory it creates default one. Then if you open /tmp/chrome/Default/Preferences you’ll see an object with preferences. You needed to set default_content_setting_values.geolocation to 2 (not 1 or 0) to make it NOT prompt that dialog
