chromedriver中的浏览器选项

There are lots of command lines which can be used with the Google Chrome browser. Some change behavior of features, others are for debugging or experimenting. This page lists the available switches including their conditions and descriptions. Last automated update occurred on 2016-10-20.

ConditionExplanation
--/prefetch:1[1] ⊗ /prefetch:# arguments to use when launching various process types. It has been observed that when file reads are consistent for 3 process launches with the same /prefetch:# argument, the Windows prefetcher starts issuing reads in batch at process launch. Because reads depend on the process type, the prefetcher wouldn't be able to observe consistent reads if no /prefetch:# arguments were used. Note that the browser process has no /prefetch:# argument; as such all other processes must have one in order to avoid polluting its profile. Note: # must always be in [1, 8]; otherwise it is ignored by the Windows prefetcher. ↪
--/prefetch:2[1] ⊗ No description ↪
--/prefetch:3[1] ⊗ No description ↪
--/prefetch:4[1] ⊗ No description ↪
--/prefetch:5[1] ⊗ /prefetch:# arguments for the browser process launched in background mode and for the watcher process. Use profiles 5, 6 and 7 as documented on kPrefetchArgument* in content_switches.cc. ↪
--/prefetch:6[1] ⊗ No description ↪
--/prefetch:8[1] ⊗ /prefetch:# argument shared by all process types that don't have their own. It is likely that the prefetcher won't work for these process types as it won't be able to observe consistent file reads across launches. However, having a valid prefetch argument for these process types is required to prevent them from interfering with the prefetch profile of the browser process. ↪
--0 ⊗ Value of the --profiler-timing flag that will disable timing information for chrome://profiler. ↪
--? ⊗ No description ↪
--accept-resource-provider ⊗ Flag indicating that a resource provider must be set up to provide cast receiver with resources. Apps cannot start until provided resources. This flag implies --alsa-check-close-timeout=0. ↪
--adaboost ⊗ No description ↪
--aec-refined-adaptive-filter ⊗ Enables a new tuning of the WebRTC Acoustic Echo Canceler (AEC). The new tuning aims at resolving two issues with the AEC: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=5777 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=5778 TODO(hlundin): Remove this switch when experimentation is over; crbug.com/603821. ↪
--agc-startup-min-volume ⊗ Override the default minimum starting volume of the Automatic Gain Control algorithm in WebRTC used with audio tracks from getUserMedia. The valid range is 12-255. Values outside that range will be clamped to the lowest or highest valid value inside WebRTC. TODO(tommi): Remove this switch when crbug.com/555577 is fixed. ↪
--aggressive ⊗ No description ↪
--aggressive-cache-discard ⊗ No description ↪
--aggressive-tab-discard ⊗ No description ↪
--allow-cross-origin-auth-prompt ⊗ Allows third-party content included on a page to prompt for a HTTP basic auth username/password pair. ↪
--allow-data-roaming-by-default ⊗ If this flag is set, enable data roaming in the cellular network by default upon system start if it's an unmanaged device.

--allow-external-pages ⊗ Allow access to external pages during layout tests. ↪
--allow-failed-policy-fetch-for-test ⊗ If this flag is passed, failed policy fetches will not cause profile initialization to fail. This is useful for tests because it means that tests don't have to mock out the policy infrastructure. ↪
--allow-file-access ⊗ On ChromeOS, file:// access is disabled except for certain whitelisted directories. This switch re-enables file:// for testing. ↪
--allow-file-access-from-files ⊗ By default, file:// URIs cannot read other file:// URIs. This is an override for developers who need the old behavior for testing. ↪

--allow-no-sandbox-job ⊗ Enables the sandboxed processes to run without a job object assigned to them. This flag is required to allow Chrome to run in RemoteApps or Citrix. This flag can reduce the security of the sandboxed processes and allow them to do certain API calls like shut down Windows or access the clipboard. Also we lose the chance to kill some processes until the outer job that owns them finishes. ↪
--allow-non-localhost ⊗ No description ↪
--allow-outdated-plugins ⊗ Don't block outdated plugins. ↪
--allow-ra-in-dev-mode ⊗ Allows remote attestation (RA) in dev mode for testing purpose. Usually RA is disabled in dev mode because it will always fail. However, there are cases in testing where we do want to go through the permission flow even in dev mode. This can be enabled by this flag. ↪
--allow-running-insecure-content ⊗ By default, an https page cannot run JavaScript, CSS or plugins from http URLs. This provides an override to get the old insecure behavior. ↪
--allow-sandbox-debugging ⊗ Allows debugging of sandboxed processes (see zygote_main_linux.cc). ↪
--allow-silent-push ⊗ Allows Web Push notifications that do not show a notification. ↪

Implies |kAshCopyHostBackgroundAtBoot| and doesn't make much sense if used in conjunction with |kDisableBootAnimation| (since the transition begins at the same time as the white/grayscale login screen animation). ↪
--ash-copy-host-background-at-boot ⊗ Copies the host window's content to the system background layer at startup. Can make boot slightly slower, but also hides an even-longer awkward period where we display a white background if the login wallpaper takes a long time to load. ↪

--metrics-recording-only ⊗ Enables the recording of metrics reports but disables reporting. In contrast to kDisableMetrics, this executes all the code that a normal client would use for reporting, except the report is dropped rather than sent to the server. This is useful for finding issues in the metrics code during UI and performance tests. ↪
--mhtml-generator-option ⊗ Sets options for MHTML generator to skip no-store resources: "skip-nostore-main" - fails to save a page if main frame is 'no-store' "skip-nostore-all" - also skips no-store subresources. ↪

--nacl-debug-mask ⊗ Uses NaCl manifest URL to choose whether NaCl program will be debugged by debug stub. Switch value format: [!]pattern1,pattern2,...,patternN. Each pattern uses the same syntax as patterns in Chrome extension manifest. The only difference is that * scheme matches all schemes instead of matching only http and https. If the value doesn't start with !, a program will be debugged if manifest URL matches any pattern. If the value starts with !, a program will be debugged if manifest URL does not match any pattern.↪
--nacl-gdb ⊗ Native Client GDB debugger that will be launched automatically when needed. ↪
--nacl-gdb-script ⊗ GDB script to pass to the nacl-gdb debugger at startup. ↪

--no-first-run ⊗ Skip First Run tasks, whether or not it's actually the First Run. Overridden by kForceFirstRun. This does not drop the First Run sentinel and thus doesn't prevent first run from occuring the next time chrome is launched without this flag. ↪
--no-managed-user-acknowledgment-check⊗ Disables checking whether we received an acknowledgment when registering a supervised user. Also disables the timeout during registration that waits for the ack. Useful when debugging against a server that does not support notifications. ↪

--no-wifi ⊗ Disable features that require WiFi management. ↪
--no-zygote ⊗ Disables the use of a zygote process for forking child processes. Instead, child processes will be forked and exec'd directly. Note that --no-sandbox should also be used together with this flag because the sandbox needs the zygote to work. ↪

--non-secure ⊗ No description ↪

You can pass either <path> to play the file looping or <path>%noloop to stop after playing the file to completion. ↪
