[Chrome Driver] How to open browser in fullscreen?

[Szymon Rapacki]

Hi,

There is any way to open browser in fullscreen mode using Selenium and Chrome Driver? I set --start-maximized switch but it only open browser maximized. I want the behavior like after pressing F11 button.

Can you show us your code and tell us what version of selenium are you working with ?

I recently learnt that using the chrome switches as detailed in the ChromeDriver wiki page doesn't do the trick. You would need to set them via the ChromeOptions class. Are you doing so ?

I use latest version of Selenium 2.35.0
Here is my code:
 

    public void createDriver() {
        options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
        options.addArguments("--disable-web-security");
        options.addArguments("--ignore-certificate-errors");
        capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
        capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
        driver = new RemoteWebDriver(service.getUrl(), capabilities);
    }

I did workaround and I'm opening fullscreen by Robot class, but in my opinion it should work also by one of switches.
