Chrome set browser zoom?

Is there a way to set browser zoom when executing? When I am on my laptop the elements cover themselves and are not clickable. If I zoom out to 80% it can see them. I’d rather not send keys with ctrl - as this is only needed on my laptop and I like to avoid send keys.

Is there a way to choose default zoom when executing in chrome? If I set my browser to 80% katalon always runs it at 100% anyway.

What do you mean by “elements cover themselves”. Do you get the scroll bar? And element appear only on use of scroll bar?

It tells me the object is not clickable. It’s the coding in the background, visually you can see the elements separate. On a code level they are overlapping and one is actually behind the other.

WebUI.executeJavaScript("document.body.style.zoom='XY%'", null)

Hi Andrej,

I am facing same issue as B_L

It tells me the object is not clickable. It’s the coding in the background, visually you can see the elements separate. On a code level they are overlapping and one is actually behind the other

Can you please help me out.

Here is code snippet I use for Chrome. This will default your zoom at startup based on the chrome settings, so no css.
//extra imports
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver as WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys as Keys
import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor

WebUI.openBrowser(’’)
WebUI.maximizeWindow()

WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.webDriver

driver.get(“https://learnautomatedtesting.com”)
//before
WebUI.delay(20)
driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1200))

//go to the chrome settings
driver.get(“chrome://settings/”)

//set the zoom to 70%
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript(“chrome.settingsPrivate.setDefaultZoom(0.7);”);

WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘https://learnautomatedtesting.com’)

//after
WebUI.delay(20)

good luck

WebUI.executeJavaScript(“document.body.style.zoom=‘XY%’”, null) did not work for me, not sure why, it gave me token not recognized error, replacing XY by 60 say.

Below worked for me
Alternate solution:

include below libs and below code:

import java.awt.Robot
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent

	Robot robot = new Robot()
	
	for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { // how many times you want CRTL+'-' pressed
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL)
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_SUBTRACT)
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_SUBTRACT)
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL)
	}

Hope this works for everyone
