Serenity chromedriver capabilities are not working with BeforeAWebdriverScenario, but working with chrome.switches.

[tiwari90]

created a sample repo with the same issue.
https://github.com/tiwari90/SerenityCapabilityIssue.git

[wakaleo]

Can you propose a PR?

[tiwari90]

@wakaleo Is this a known issue?

[wakaleo]

No. I'd recommend putting a breakpoint and seeing what the code is doing behind the scenes.

[tiwari90]

I tried and observed that Serenity is reading and setting all the capabilities in the background, also printing it on the console as well, during execution. But still, it's not applying.

Have a look at the ChromeDriverProvider class - that is where the new ChromeDriver instance is created.

[tiwari90]

WebDriver newDriver = ProvideNewDriver.withConfiguration(environmentVariables,
enhancedCapabilities,
driverServicePool,
DriverServicePool::newDriver,
(pool, capabilities) -> new ChromeDriver(enhancedChromeOptions)
);

Below is the value passed for enhancedChromeOptions variable:

Capabilities {acceptInsecureCerts: false, acceptSslCerts: true, browserName: chrome, goog:chromeOptions: {args: [--disable-gpu, --start-maximized, use-fake-device-for-media-s..., use-fake-ui-for-media-stream], extensions: [], prefs: {download.default_directory: C:\Users\Ashish\git\qa-te..., download.prompt_for_download: false, plugins.always_open_pdf_externally: true, plugins.plugins_disabled: [Adobe Flash Player], profile.default_content_settings.popups: 0}}, loggingPrefs: org.openqa.selenium.logging..., platform: ANY, version: }

I personally don't see any issue with this.
Can you please have a look once?

[wakaleo]

If you can update your sample project so that it runs in all environments (no tests currently run when you run mvn verify) and reproduces the issue, it will be easier for folk to pick it up and see if anything is amiss.

[tiwari90]

Done,
Added sample test class in pom.xml

[wakaleo]

Your sample project only works on Windows.

[tiwari90]

Added driver for Linux and Mac as well

[tiwari90]

@wakaleo did you get a chance to look into it?

[wakaleo]

Is it urgent? Is it something you need for your work?

[tiwari90]

not that urgent, as chrome.switches, are already there as a workaround.

[tiwari90]

@wakaleo Did you get a chance to look into it?

[wakaleo]

No
