Can't run Chrome with some prefs

[Vitaly C]

Hi

In Chrome (since version 57) there is changes of PDF viewer plugin. I want to turn off preview and download PDF. I used this answer and tried to implement in a such way:
${chrome options}= | Evaluate | sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions() | sys, selenium.webdriver
${prefs}= | Create Dictionary | download.default_directory=${download directory} | plugins.always_open_pdf_externally=true
Call Method | ${chrome options} | add_experimental_option | prefs | ${prefs}
Create Webdriver | Chrome | chrome_options=${chrome options}

Result:
download.default_directory - set correctly
plugins.always_open_pdf_externally - doesn't set

Also I tried browser.show_home_button=true but no luck here too

What I'm doing wrong, please help.

I have installed:

• robotframework-3.0.2
• robotframework-selenium2library-1.8.0
• selenium-3.3.3

You can use the keyword below without creating python file. Note the difference of creating dictionary object and use of ${TRUE} instead of True.

Open Chrome Browser

    ${chrome options}=    Evaluate    sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()    sys, selenium.

webdriver
    ${prefs}    Create Dictionary    download.default_directory    ${CURDIR}    plugins.always_open_pdf_externally    ${TRUE}
    Log    ${prefs}
    ${val}=    Call Method    ${chrome options}    add_experimental_option    prefs    ${prefs}
    Log    ${val}
    Log    ${chrome options}
    Log    ${chrome options.experimental_options}

    Create Webdriver    Chrome    chrome_options=${chrome options}
