Not able to configure screen height and width for chrome browser in serenity.properties file

[PritiKumari95]

What happened?

Not able to configure screen height and width for chrome browser in serenity.properties file, we tried to set below configuration but its working for firefox but not chrome
// To maximize
chrome.switches = --start-maximized

// To Resize
serenity.browser.width=981
serenity.browser.height=644

What did you expect to happen?

Screen height and width shoul be adjusted as per the configuration

How to reproduce the bug.

try setting below in serenity.properties file
serenity.browser.width=981
serenity.browser.height=644

How can we make it happen?

Work on this myself and propose a PR (with Serenity BDD team guidance)

serenity.properties is deprecated - use serenity.conf instead:

serenity {
  browser {
    width = 981
    height = 644
  }
  ...

As suggested i tried the above lines of code but we still don't see any changes, below is the code we are using to verify the size.
getDriver().manage().window().getSize()

Maybe you have some chrome options elsewhere that are overriding the properties? I can confirm that the configuration above works in normal circumstances.

i am usin --start-maximized in chrome options, does this has anything to do with the default size i am getting?

[wakaleo]

Yes, that will start the browser in maximized mode, overriding any browser size settings.
