"Chrome is being controlled by automated test software"

"Chrome is being controlled by automated test software"

this bar at the top of the chrome webdriver breaks a lot of folks tests looking around online. It also breaks some of my tests and i cannot find a way to disable it through the registry which would be best for my application as changing group policy settings is not the best option.  if it is the only one can someone describe the process to me as the instructions i find don't seem to work.  we need to use chrome unfortunately as we have an application that does a ton of things with chrome, we just use selenium to click a few buttons that are hard to find on the screen through other methods.  Thank you for your time, any suggestion is golden.

How "breaks" the tests? normally, it doesn't affect viewport.

What is exactly the problem?

You can disable this bar using chrome option 

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.addArguments("disable-infobars");

Hello

You can change browser options, this "disable-infobars" option is no longer supported, so you can change to the items below:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions ();

options.setExperimentalOption ("excludeSwitches", Collections.singletonList ("enable-automation"));

options.setExperimentalOption ("useAutomationExtension", false);

Hope this helps

[Jesse Beebout]

Thank you so much!, to help out anyone who runs into this is the future, here is a code example to do this in Python

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)

options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ['enable-automation'])

Fast forward 9 months, and 'setExperimentalOption' is no longer a function in ChromeOptions...
