Hi,
i am trying to stop chrome from loading pictures with something like this:

val chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions()
chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("prefs", new JSONObject().put("profile.default_content_settings", "2"))

val contentSettings = new util.HashMap[String, Any]()
contentSettings.put("images", 2)
val preferences = new util.HashMap[String, Object]()
preferences.put("profile.default_content_settings", contentSettings)

val caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome()
caps.setCapability("chrome.prefs", preferences)
new ChromeDriver(caps)

doesnt work ... also tried addArguments and setExperimentalOptions .... nothing seems to help }(_+[~<*=>%ſ]<|…&^<%

HELP ME PLS :-)

You can pass profile options through chromeOptions as shown in below java code

Sample Java code:
HashMap<String, Object> images = new HashMap<String, Object>();
images.put("images", 2);

HashMap<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_settings", images);

ChromeOptions options =new ChromeOptions();
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);

DesiredCapabilities chromeCaps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
chromeCaps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);

ChromeDriver cd = new ChromeDriver(chromeCaps);
cd.get("http://google.com");

Looks like Chrome profile preferences have been changed.

Please use below code :-

        HashMap<String, Object> images = new HashMap<String, Object>(); 
        images.put("images", 2); 

        HashMap<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>(); 

        prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values", images);

        ChromeOptions options =new ChromeOptions(); 
        options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs); 

        DesiredCapabilities chromeCaps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); 
        chromeCaps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options); 

        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeCaps); 
        driver.get("http://google.com/images");

Can you tell where I can find the list of Chrome profile preferences?
When did they change the bellow mentioned preference?

[gmani...@google.com]

You can create chrome profile by passing 'user-data-dir' command line switch

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=/path/to/your/custom/profile");

"Preferences" file will be generated in /path/to/your/custom/profile/Default/

ChromeOptions chOptions =new ChromeOptions();
chOptions.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);

WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chOptions);
