How to skip "Choose search engine" with capybara/selenium/chrome

When I open Chrome from capybara I get this screen:

choose search engine

here is the image on imgur because stack overflow images don't work for me: https://i.imgur.com/UE9teHL.png

That results in errors in my specs, how to skip it? e.g. choose Google for instance

Here is the stacktrace:

  1) GenerateAndEvaluateProgram works

Solution

  • You can skip Chrome's “Choose your search engine” dialog by setting the disable-search-engine-choice-screen argument.

    This is how my Capybara/Selenium config looks like:

    require 'capybara/rails'
require 'capybara/rspec'

Capybara.server = :puma, { Silent: true }
Capybara.server_port = 3000

Capybara.register_driver :chrome do |app|
  chrome_options = Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options.new
  chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-search-engine-choice-screen')
  chrome_options.add_argument('--window-size=1920,1080')

  chrome_options.add_argument('--headless') if ENV['CAPYBARA_HEADLESS'].present?

  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome, options: chrome_options)
end

Capybara.default_driver    = :chrome
Capybara.javascript_driver = :chrome
