How to disable JavaScript in chrome using Chrome driver

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 3175

Hi,

In my project we need to do automation for javascript disable of chrome browser.

I have tried below code using chrome driver but no luck.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.Chrome();
                capabilities.IsJavaScriptEnabled = false;
                capabilities.Platform = plat;
                OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver driver = new OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver(capabilities);

  driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://tk3ftptlwbvm16/onemscom/default.aspx");

could you please let me know is there any other way to disable the javascript and perform
required clicks / actions

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Praveena.

This is not the proper forum for general help requests. In the future, please direct
your WebDriver questions to the webdriver@googlegroups.com mailing list.

As for your bug, you can disable JavaScript using Chrome's --disable-javascript flag.
 In Java:

DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
caps.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--disable-javascript"));

*WARNING*: Running without JavaScript is unsupported and will likely break a large
portion of the ChromeDriver's functionality. I suspect you will be able to do little
more than navigate to a page.  This is *NOT* a supported use case, and we will not
be supporting it.

        self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors)
