How To - start REMOTE chrome webdriver with desired chromeOption

[Tset Noitamotua]

How to use Chrome WebDriver on Selenium Server Standalone[1] with chromeOptions[2]:

Here a small example for the chromeOption '--lang=xx'  where 'xx' are two characters defining the language, e.g. '--lang=de' for German.

In Python interactive shell:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--lang=de")
chrome_remote = webdriver.Remote('http://hostname:4444/wd/hub', options.to_capabilities())

In Robot Framework syntax:

| Start Google Chrome Remote

| | [Arguments]      | ${url}

| | [Documentation]  | Starts Google Chrome browser on Selenium Server Standalone.

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

| | Call Method  | ${options} | add_argument | --lang\=de     # NOTE: important to escape equal sign '\='

| | ${options}=  | Call Method  | ${options} | to_capabilities

| | Create WebDriver | Remote | command_executor=http://hostname:4444/wd/hub | desired_capabilities=${options}
| | # NOTE: replace 'hostname' with hastname or IP of your remote machine running the Selenium Server  

| | Go To                       | ${url}

| | Maximize Browser Window     |
