WebDriverIO Selenium pass command line arguments i

Question

I need chrome to run with disable-web-security flag for my UI tests. How can I inject any commands using wdio.config file (http://webdriver.io/).

  capabilities: [{
        browserName: 'chrome'
    }]

Answer 1

If you want to disable javascript in the browser using webdriverio, in your wdio.config you'll need

capabilities: [{
    browserName: 'chrome',
    chromeOptions: {
            "args" : ["start-fullscreen"],
            "prefs" : {
                    'profile.managed_default_content_settings.javascript': 2
            }
    }
}]

Answer 2

You can set any chrome flags within the desired capabilities using chromeOptions

capabilities: [{
    browserName: 'chrome',
    chromeOptions: {
        args: ['disable-web-security']
    }
}]

Check out the chromedriver docs for more information on the chromeOptions object.

This ended up being the correct syntax, thanks Christian!

  capabilities: [{
        browserName: 'chrome',
        "chromeOptions": {
            args: ['--disable-web-security']
        }
    }]
