Popup blocking in Google Chrome causing issues with Capybara/Rspec tests
We had a very similar problem. Like John says, the command-line switch no longer works. We tried using a custom profile, but it seemed to be overwritten.
Eventually solved it by manually disabling popups using WebDriver itself:
driver.get('chrome://settings/advanced')driver.find_element_by_id('privacyContentSettingsButton').click()driver.find_element_by_name('popups').click()Which, I guess, is more like what the user would do anyway ;-)
You can call driver with options.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();options.addArguments("-incognito");options.addArguments("--disable-popup-blocking");ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Try this:
Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome, :switches => %w[--disable-popup-blocking)This is mentioned on the RubyBindings page on the Selenium wiki.
