Is there any way to launch either Google Chrone or MS Edge from command line with not only the page to be open (i.e. index.html) but also with a string to be passed to the JavaScript?
I found that this was doable in Internet Explorer using HTA but it appears such mechanism is not available in MS-Edge and (obviously) in Chrome.
Well... After some search and assistance from this site (see RVRX's answer here), I found the way to do what I needed. The command line to be included in a small bat script with only two lines:
echo off
start chrome file://d:/MyDir/index.html?rt=%cd% --disable-web-security --user-data-dir=%cd%
being %cd% the folder in which the script sits.
Within the Javascript, the value of rt is retrieved using the following code:
var G_Project_Root ;
var l_Passed_Params_String = window.location.search;
var l_Parsed_Params = new URLSearchParams(l_Passed_Params_String);
G_Project_Root = l_Parsed_Params.get('rt')
