Web Interactions - command line arguments

[ricknime]

Hello

Is it possible to find out how to use the command line arguments to change some configuration values?

Or post any example that works using parameters, and then maybe I can understand how the command line arguments are interpreted by the node.

I’ve reviewed without success
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

Main problem is the pdf files are opened instead of downloaded.

It works if I start the interaction, then i type on the chrome instance:
chrome://settings/content/pdfDocuments
set the value
and then continue the process.

The json values can be displayed using:
chrome://prefs-internals

The target configurations are:
plugins always_open_pdf_externally - change from false to true
savefile: default_directory

something like 🎛️ Command Line Options - SeleniumBase Docs

Thanks

Hey @ricknime,

I can not say for sure but generally you can use CLI commands as you mentioned here. → Simply add your disired CLI in the “Addtional Arguments” parameter:

But setting prefs like plugins.always_open_pdf_externally: True are NOT CLI commands.

An example of how they are implemented for chrome with python:

...
prefs = {
    "plugins.always_open_pdf_externally": True
}
...
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)

Therefore I think it is (unfortunately) not possible to set these preferences.

Kind regards
