protractor - launch chrome with to disable web security for cors
There is also args inside chromeOptions, where you can provide the --disable-web-security and --user-data-dir arguments.
If you are running the tests locally, make sure to supply a profile location for the --user-data-dir, otherwise Chrome will use the default profile and load the page in the current browser session (running with all of your extensions and settings).
capabilities: { 'browserName': 'chrome', 'chromeOptions': { 'args': ['--disable-web-security', '--user-data-dir=~/.e2e-chrome-profile'] }},
@alecxe's solution wasn't working for me. I eventually came up with the following after some cli trial and error; I'm sharing my solution here (it took some hair pulling to figure it out) in case there are other lost souls out there having the same problem:
capabilities: { browserName: 'chrome', chromeOptions: { args: ['--disable-web-security', '--user-data-dir'] }}Cheers!
