Can't set ChromeOptions user-data-dir

[bsimpson53]

I'm trying to set a local user-data-dir (userDataDir) for Chromedriver, in my conf I have:

capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    'ChromeOptions': {
        'args': ['--user-data-dir=/my/path/here']
    }
  }

I'm doing this so that I can set 'protocol_handler.excluded_schemes.localhost': 'false' in "Local State" by hand which I don't seem to be able to set with:

capabilities: {
    'browserName': 'chrome',
    'ChromeOptions': {
        'prefs': { 'protocol_handler.excluded_schemes.localhost': 'false' }
    }
  }

My end goal is to prevent a native chrome alert for an "External Protocol Request" from appearing and derailing my test.

Any alternative approaches gratefully received :)

Case might be your issue, try chromeOptions instead of ChromeOptions

Yup, that capital C is messing you up.
