Try passing "start-maximized" to the args array of chromeOptions.

Also, if you want all the browsers running a test to be maximized, you can use the command:

browser.maximizeWindow()

Andrei ,

its working with the below setting but browser is not coming in front its side back side of the terminal window 

"desiredCapabilities" : {

        "browserName" : "chrome",

        "javascriptEnabled" : true,

        "acceptSslCerts" : true ,

        "chromeOptions": {

           "args": ["disable-web-security","start-maximized"]

        }

      }

    },

Hi Muthu,

Just place that command anywhere in your test just like every other nightwatch command (click, setValue, assert, etc.)

ex:

browser
 .url('http://google.com/')
 .maximizeWindow()
 .click('#button')

[Andrei Rusu]

yeah I noticed that too. It must be a chromedriver issue. Which OS are you on?

[Muthu Selvan]

Chrome window will not maximized in mac OS ? confirm please ?

My problem is that the window is not focused. I haven't gotten to the
bottom of it yet.

Old post but for future reference. Looks like it's a chromedriver issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=985

You could use "start-fullscreen" as a workaround:

      "desiredCapabilities": {

        "browserName": "chrome",

        "javascriptEnabled": true,

        "acceptSslCerts": true,

        "chromeOptions" : {

         "args" : ["start-fullscreen"]

Have anybody found a way to bring Chrome window to the front without using "start-fullscreen" arg? (the fullscreen behaviour on the new OS X systems is really irritating and it's making my testing process less effective).
