[🐛 Bug]: setWindowRect:true fails when passed to Browser Drivers

[cocchiarocarl]

What happened?

When passing in the setWindowRect:true capability to any of the supported Browsers, it fails on all headed Browsers, throwing exception error "invalid" argument: unrecognized capability: setWindowRect". However, it does pass on headless Firefox.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Pass in the setWindowRect:true capability when creating the driver:

ThreadLocal<WebDriver> webDriver = new ThreadLocal<>();
ChromeOptions chromeOpts = new ChromeOptions();

chromeOpts.setCapability(setWindowRect, true);
webDriver.set(new ChromeDriver(chromeOpts));

Relevant log output

"invalid" argument: unrecognized capability: setWindowRect"

Operating System

macOS Sonoma 14.4.1

Selenium version

4.18.1
