Unable to Maximize Chrome Window

[Ranjith Manne]

Hi All,

I was unable to maximize the chrome window,I tried it in 2-ways to maximize the browser.

Method-1

String URL ="http://www.google.co.in";
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(cds);
driver.get(URL);
Selenium sel = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver,URL);
sel.windowMaximize();


Method-2

public void maximise() {
 Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

Dimension screenResolution = new Dimension((int)       

        toolkit.getScreenSize().getWidth(), (int)
        toolkit.getScreenSize().getHeight());

         driver.manage().window().setSize(screenResolution);

}

Note: By using above 2 logics i was able to maximize the IE and Firefox browsers.


Thanks,
Ranjith.

Refer here to understand how to go about making use of chrome browser flags for maximizing the window.

Hi Ranjith,

Try using the below method

public String maximizeWindow() {

return "if (window.screen) {window.moveTo(0, 0);window.resizeTo(window.screen.availWidth,window.screen.availHeight)}";

}

I believe that Google Chrome currently does not support window resizing.

Mark,

Not even with the command line flag ?

Well the command line flag will start it maximised, but you still can’t resize the windows when it is running as far as I’m aware (They may have added something in recently I don’t know about).

Hmm.. ok.. I was more concerned on starting up the browser in maximized mode Mark :) Am glad that still remains as is.

Thanks & Regards

Hi All,

Thanks for all your suggestions.
Now i am able to maximize the chrome window by using the following code:


System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\Ranjith\\Softwares\\chromedriver_win_18.0.1022.0\\chromedriver.exe");
                   
              DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
              capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--start-maximized"));
              WebDriver driver1 = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);


@ Krishnan: I have implented this using the link which you sent to me.
i.e http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver#Advanced_Usage
Thanks Krishnan.

Warm Regards,
Ranjith.

Above doesn't work for MAC. Any idea how to maximize chrome on MAC ?

[Moises Siles]

I don't remember if I already try  this but could you take a look at the following code

                        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
                        options.AddArguments("start-maximized");
                        webDriver = new ChromeDriver(path, options);

I haven't tried running this on a Mac but try:

Point targetPosition = new Point(0, 0);
driver.manage().window().setPosition(targetPosition);

String w = "return screen.availWidth";
String h = "return screen.availHeight";
int width = ((Long)driver.executeScript(w)).intValue();
int height = ((Long)driver.executeScript(h)).intValue();
Dimension targetSize = new Dimension(width, height);
driver.manage().window().setSize(targetSize);

Unlike Windows there is not maximize window feature. The green +
button on a Mac window is different from the maximize window button on
Windows. To re-size the window to the full screen size I position the
existing window to (0, 0), get the window width and height via
Javascript then set the size of the window to be the window width and
height.
