Protractor: Protractor Chrome Allow Notifications

[rfodge]

Chrome just auto-updated to version 46. I am trying to run my protractor tests but I always get the Allow Notifications pop-up now. Does anyone know how to get around this? How I can make it always allow notifications for my tests?

Is there a chrome option or something that we can set in the config file?

[sjelin]

Not sure about this, but could you use browser.switchTo().alert().accept() to accept the notification?

[rfodge]

Thanks for the suggestion - I tried that but didn't work.

I have similar issue with geo location popup. I don't think that the approach will work because it is browser native alert. I haven't found a solution yet either. It seems to be a problem for new Chrome browser 46 or the latest chrome driver. I already set it in browser setting to accept all sites for geo location. New browser from protractor only takes default setting where I have to click to accept.

Yeah, I tried searching for a Chrome Option to set it to allow via the protractor config file but I couldn't find one. However, to get around it for now, I was able to run Chrome in incognito mode via an option and that must always allow notifications. Maybe you could try that as well as a workaround for now until someone else lets us know of a solution?

This is definitely possible via chromeOptions using perfs. I've looked at my preferences files and the memory of which sites I've enabled geolocation for is definitely there. It's a huge file though so exactly what to include in your config I'm not sure, but I know the option exists. Hope that helps!

[rfodge]

Why did you close this issue, it wasn't resolved yet? we still dont know how or which chromeOptions to use. I still would like to know which options to use for notifications, if one exists.

[rfodge]

So I found the prefs options here: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/pref_names.cc?view=markup

But i'm not sure what the value is i am supposed to use for the option? I tried this but it still doesn't work:

I closed the issue because GitHub issues are only for feature requests/bug reports/things that will induce use to change the codebase. Since these feature exists, it's more of a support question, which is better asked on stack overflow. Probably if you ask there there's a much better chance of someone knowing which option to use.

@sjelin and @rfodge I got it to work with

prefs: {'profile.managed_default_content_settings.geolocation': 1}

@rfodge the value should 0, 1, 2, 3 ...
Give it shot.

[rfodge]

Yes, thank you! I got it to work with using 1 as well.

Could anyone please suggest how to allow or block location using the popup in protractor?

[facupedrazzini]

Hi, thanks for the info @rfodge ! but I need to allow navigator.webkitPersistentStorage and I can't find the pref name here:
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/pref_names.cc
