Unable to open chrome browser using Selenium Webdriver. Loading unpacked extensions are disabled by administrator

Question

I am automating my application using Selenium Webdriver, C#, Visual Studio and Chrome browser.

I am getting below popup when selenium tried to open the chrome browse

Answer 1

According to ChromeDriver Issues use the following:

chromeOptions: {
    args: ['--start-maximized', '--disable-extensions'],
    useAutomationExtension: false
}

Extra: For using Selenium with Cucumber-js

require('chromedriver')
var seleniumWebdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var {defineSupportCode} = require('cucumber');

function CustomWorld() {

  var chromeCapabilities = seleniumWebdriver.Capabilities.chrome();

  var chromeOptions = {
    'args': ['--disable-extensions', '--start-maximized'],
    'useAutomationExtension': false
  };

  chromeCapabilities.set('chromeOptions', chromeOptions);

  this.driver = new seleniumWebdriver.Builder()
    .forBrowser('chrome')
    .withCapabilities(chromeCapabilities)
    .build();
}

defineSupportCode(function({setWorldConstructor}) {
  setWorldConstructor(CustomWorld)
})
