How can i open Chrome with –disable-web-security –user-data-dir=c:\my\data

Product Forums Katalon Studio

So i am trying to open a test case using the chrome browser, but for my manual tests i need to use a browser shortcut using " --disable-web-security --user-data-dir=c:\my\data" at the end on the line, in properties.

How can this be done using Katalon? I tried setting my Settings- execution - default -= webUI - chrome - with the given value, but no luck.

Also tried to add a web browser in Katalon preferences, with the browser location pointing to a shortcut on my desktop, that has the --disable… but that browser does not show up in my Run option.

And No, i cannot “Disable web security” for the main chrome browser.

I somehow managed to leave open that browser and select “active browser” and it seems to work, after a few tries, that window will be selected. So taht’s a temporary solution. Thanks!

Hi there,

Those settings are only applied to execution. Record or Spy browsers haven’t support passing these settings yet.

Thanks

Right click on desktop, add new shortcut.
Add the target as “[PATH_TO_CHROME]\chrome.exe” --disable-web-security --disable-gpu --user-data-dir=~/chromeTemp.
Click OK.
