Run chrome browser in inconginto Mode in Selenium

Question

I want to run chrome in incognito mode through selenium. I googled enough for it and found how to run chrome directly in incognito mode, and  found this:

1. Right click on the shortcut of Google Chrome and select "Properties".
2. On "Shortcut" tab on the "Target" field add an –incognito to the end of program path. So in the "Target" field you should have "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" –incognito

but I didn't get how to run this in selenium.

Answer 1

One other way to launch Chrome in incognito mode is add argument -incognito like following

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--incognito");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);

For further understanding, you can refer to the Selenium Training.

Can you share what's the error you are facing? 

Also you can try using something like this: 

1. Check if Allow in incognito is switched On for JetBrains IDE Support extension (chrome://extensions/)
2. open WebStorm preferences -> Tools -> Web browsers -> Chrome -> Edit -> Command line options: -incognito
