Chrome is being controlled by automated test software

Question

I am running automated tests in Chrome with Serenity BDD (Selenium).

I had to download a new ChromeDriver, because my tests could not run -> The test would open ChromeDriver but could not "Browse as user". When I googled the issue, they said I had to update ChromeDriver.

So I updated ChromeDriver to version 2.28 and I also updated the Chrome version to Version 57.0.2987.98.

But now - EVERY TIME I run my tests this annoying text comes up:

Chrome is being controlled by automated test software

And it asks me if I want to save password. (I can't add pictures because I don't have enough "points")

In the previous version, I had managed to block these 2 things by:

public class CustomChromeDriver implements DriverSource {

    @Override
    public WebDriver newDriver() {
        try {
            DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
            Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
            String proxyServer = String.format("AProxyIDontWantToDisplay", System.getenv("proxy.username"), System.getenv("proxy.password"));
            proxy.setHttpProxy(proxyServer);
            capabilities.setCapability("proxy", proxy);
            ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
            options.addArguments(Arrays.asList("--no-sandbox","--ignore-certificate-errors","--homepage=about:blank","--no-first-run"));
            capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
            ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
            return driver;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new Error(e);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public boolean takesScreenshots() {
        return true;
    }
}

I know there is this one (A link to same issue), but there are too many answers that don't work.

Anybody that knows how to remove that?

Answer 1

Add this to the options you pass to the driver:

options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
