WebDriverIO Selenium pass command line arguments into Chrome from config.js file

Question

I need chrome to run with disable-web-security flag for my UI tests. How can I inject any commands using wdio.config file (http://webdriver.io/).

  capabilities: [{
        browserName: 'chrome'
    }]

Answer 1

You can set any chrome flags within the desired capabilities using goog:chromeOptions

capabilities: [{
    browserName: 'chrome',
    'goog:chromeOptions': {
        args: ['disable-web-security']
    }
}]

Check out the chromedriver docs for more information on the chromeOptions object.
