Some websites implemented responsive design. So, the website looks differently on smaller screens.
Therefore it’s important to maximize the browser window before the test starts.
@Test
public void maximizeFirefox() {
// Start browser
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", FileUtil.findFileOnPath("mac/geckodriver"));
final FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
// Maximize browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();
// Open website
driver.get("http://www.selenium-in-action.io");
}
There are several bug reports noticing that this feature doesn’t work when using ChromeDriver.
Luckily the is a workaround, we can start Chrome in kiosk mode (full screen without toolbars).
@Test
public void startChromeFullscreen() {
// Start browser with specific options
final ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-fullscreen");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", FileUtil.findFileOnPath("mac/chromedriver"));
final ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
// Open website
driver.get("http://www.selenium-in-action.io");
}
Kiosk mode
@Test
public void startChromeKioskMode() {
// Start browser with specific options
final ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--kiosk");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", FileUtil.findFileOnPath("mac/chromedriver"));
final ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
// Open website
driver.get("http://www.selenium-in-action.io");
}
