Selenium Web Driver Set Chrome Options

setChromeOptions.js

//import the selenium web driver
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');

var chromeCapabilities = webdriver.Capabilities.chrome();
//setting chrome options to start the browser fully maximized
var chromeOptions = {
    'args': ['--test-type', '--start-maximized']
};
chromeCapabilities.set('chromeOptions', chromeOptions);
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().withCapabilities(chromeCapabilities).build();

You rock!

For newer versions of Node with ES modules enabled (14+)

import chrome from 'selenium-webdriver/chrome.js';

let opts = new chrome.Options();
opts.excludeSwitches('enable-automation'); // disable 'Chrome is being controlled by automation' banner
