Not possible to Set Chrome Browser Locale via desiredCapabilities, browserOptions

[wolczyk]

I'm unable to pass Chrome Locale via Desired Capabilities nor Browser Options.
I noticed in the code that Desired capabilities for Chrome are not affected by parameters sent in Open Browser keyword call - not implemented.

I made it work by small code change (shown below) in createDesiredCapabilities method.

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("intl.accept_languages", "de-AT");
options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
desiredCapabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);

Is there any workaround or plan for change?

This can be implemented to next version, and probably to both Selenium2 and 3 sides.

Isn't this just matter of putting values? The example would e.g. be:

{"chromeOptions": {"intl.accept_languages": "de-AT"}}

or

{"chromeOptions": {"prefs": {"intl.accept_languages": "de-AT"}}}

[wolczyk]

I've got serialized ChromeOptions in JSON in the following form
{"args":[],"extensions":[],"prefs":{"intl.accept_languages":"de-AT"}}

Today, BrowserManagement class contains only call
desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

I think similar method to 'parseBrowserOptionsFirefox' would make it feasible to pass the options.

[Hi-Fi]

I think that I need to refactor that part a bit in general, as browser is only getting desired capabilities (or Options in Selenium 3). So no browser specific things, just common parsing functions.

Fixed in
