ChromeDriver - Disable developer mode extensions pop up on Selenium WebDriver automation

Question

I'm having the following issue: When I'm running my automation tests, I keep getting the following alert "Disable Developer Mode Extension" in Chrome.

Is there a way to remove/disable this?. It is a blocker for me as it is making me fail some tests.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Did you try disabling the developer extensions with command line param?

Try with the following Selenium WebDriver java code:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
