Create WebDriver with different ChromeOption by test

[vayaszsolt]

I am using the serenity to manage the WebDriver download and creation. Right now I am using the chrome driver.

I need to extend a test in order to open the browser with different IP addresses because the application has different behavior by ip address's country.

I need to specify the '--proxy-server' ChromeOption before the WebDriver is created. This value will be different by test. Is there a before web driver hook in Serenity? So I can specify in a programmatic way the ChromeOption before the driver is created.

Does this help? https://serenity-bdd.github.io/theserenitybook/latest/advanced-webdriver.html

@globalworming Yes this can be a solution but I don't know if the custom web driver will be created after the Before test hook is executed, in order to tell to the CustomWebDriver implementation which proxy-server to use... I will test it out.

Also I have an additional concern: Will I lose some serenity configuration related to the WebDriver creation if I will use a Custom one that will create the ChromeDriver?
I mean the following serenity configuration:

• Chrome driver to be downloaded, automatically by Serenity? Is it used the webdriver.autodownload property in case of custom driver?
• The ChromeDriver configuration can be specified in a mixed mode: serenitry.conf and programmatically?

If you create a custom driver you are entirely responsible for its configuration.
