How to handle chrome's blahblah wants to: Know your location. Block/Allow

[Austin France]

This as recently started appearing in my tests.  Previously I believe it was being suppressed by the --test-ui command line option but that would appear to no longer the case.  It isn't actually stopping the scripts from running  (WebDriver from functioning) but I would like to dismiss it/prevent it if possible.

It is not an HTML pop up which Selenium can handle. The other way which I can suggest is to go for Java Robot OR AutoIT or Sikuli.

Thanks

Same problem occured to my project.

Ah, so I could add something to my scripts (written using https://github.com/redskyit/ScriptDriver) that spawned something like autoit (or in my case probably applescript) to dismiss this dialog.  Sounds like a plan!

Hi Team,

Just set the latitude and  longitude which you prefer . its working fine . same scenario for me.

JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;

js.executeScript("window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition=function(success){"+

                "var position = {\"coords\" : {\"latitude\": \"555\",\"longitude\": \"999\"}};"+

                "success(position);}");

System.out.println(js.executeScript("var positionStr=\"\";"+

            "window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos){positionStr=pos.coords.latitude+\":\"+pos.coords.longitude});"+

            "return positionStr;"));

Thanks

Have you explored all the command line switches that are available with Chrome ? http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

I did see one such flag which you might want to leverage and see if that helps : http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#test-type

Sorry, the --test-ui mentioned in the OP was a typo, it should have said --test-type=ui yes I have been using that to suppress prompts but the location prompt would seem to be no longer suppressed by it.  

I am using the following options at present

browser option "--unlimited-storage"

browser option "--disable-extensions"

browser option "--test-type=ui"

An --allow-geolocation option would have been ideal.

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Have you done the following :

1. Spawn Chrome manually by passing in that flag and see Chrome responds properly to that flag ?

2. Check if the flag that you are sending via your test code, reaches ChromeDriver by turning on the ChromeDriver logs ?

Thanks & Regards

Taken from ps(1) made a script, and ran it, still prompted.  --test-type=browser does the same.  It is the latest version of chrome that has triggered this, previously it would not prompt using these options.

#!/bin/bash

"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" \
    --disable-background-networking \
    --disable-client-side-phishing-detection \
    --disable-component-update \

    --disable-extensions \
    --disable-hang-monitor \
    --disable-prompt-on-repost \
    --disable-sync \
    --disable-web-resources \
    --enable-logging \
    --full-memory-crash-report \

You either stumbled into a Chrome Browser (or) maybe the browser has changed functionality wherein it honors some other flag instead of this one. 

In either case, I think you might want to the chrome browser forum and see if something springs up over there.
