Protractor error message “unsupported command-line flag” in Chrome?

Question

I\'m a new user to Protractor, and I encountered this error running my tests using Chrome (error displays beneath the address bar in the launched browser):

Answer 1

I think this is a Chromedriver issue, I've raised an issue against Chromedriver https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=799

In the meantime you can try downgrading Chrome to v34.

Answer 2

Selenium using C#.Net (Selenium + C#.Net)

public static IWebDriver Instance = null;
ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions();

opt.AddArguments("--test-type");<br><br>
Instance = new ChromeDriver(@"Path To directory containing chromedriver.exe" , opt ) ;

It works for Google Chrome Version 47.0.2526.106 m.

Answer 3

#!/usr/bin/env node
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().withCapabilities({
    browserName : 'chrome',
    'chromeOptions': {
        args: ['test-type']
    }
}).build();
