[🐛 Bug]: Unrecognized capability: setWindowRect

[Rabindra184]

What happened?

I am getting the below error when I am using the ChromeOptions class to set the Capability setWindowRect.

Error: org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 400. Message: invalid argument: entry 0 of 'firstMatch' is invalid
from invalid argument: unrecognized capability: setWindowRect

How can we reproduce the issue?

Please run the below program to reproduce this issue.
Program used:

 @Test
    public void testUsingOptions(){

        ChromeOptions options=new ChromeOptions();
        options.setCapability(CapabilityType.SET_WINDOW_RECT, "normal");
        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        driver.quit();

    }

I don't think this setting does what you think it does.

First, the value must be a boolean — https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#capabilities

It is also not setting the behavior for the session, but used to match a session. Presumably if you set it to false, then the driver will error if the window rect can be set (which it can be).

@titusfortner I am still getting the SessionNotCreatedException when I changed the code as per your comment

@test
public void testUsingOptions(){

    ChromeOptions options=new ChromeOptions();
    options.setCapability("setWindowRect", true);
    driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
    driver.get("https://www.google.com");
    driver.quit();

}

You should not set the capability because it is returned by the browser driver as it...

Indicates whether the remote end supports all of the resizing and repositioning commands.

It is not a value you can set.
