After updating chrome and the corresponding chromedriver to version 75 I cannot use findby name when the corresponding name contains special characters:
@FindBy(name = "head['such']")
private WebElement searchWordInput;
After some quick search I found this thread facing the same problem, due to the default enabled w3c mode: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/selenium-users/TwWf4uwYB5A/5XmNBb7IDAAJ
In order to get our tests to run I would like to temporarily disable w3c mode of chrome since there is a long term solution (e.g. chromedriver or selenium fix).
This answer gives an example on how to do it in java as code: How to turn off w3c in chromedriver to address the error unknown command: Cannot call non W3C standard command while in W3C
In my case I do not configure the chrome driver in java but user serenity's @Managed annotation in our tests:
@Managed(driver = "chrome")
WebDriver driver;
If possible I do not want to configure the driver by myself because this would lead to refactor many tests.
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do this with serenity. What I've tried was specifying it in a serenity.conf file like this:
chrome {
capabilities {
chromeOptions {
"w3c" = false
}
}
}
Somehow serenity picked up my configuration but I think not in the correct way:
[main] INFO net.serenitybdd.core.webdriver.driverproviders.ProvideNewDriver - Driver capabilities: Capabilities {acceptInsecureCerts: false, browserName: chrome, chromeOptions.w3c: false, goog:chromeOptions: {args: [--enable-automation, --test-type], extensions: []}, platform: ANY, version: }
How can I disable chrome w3c mode either in a serenity.conf or serenity.properties file?
