ChromeOptions capability = new ChromeOptions();
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("deviceOrientation", "landscape", true);
// To get landscape orientation on iOS devices
SafariOptions capability = new SafariOptions();
capability.AddAdditionalCapability("deviceOrientation", "landscape");
# Change device orientation to landscape
$caps = array(
"deviceOrientation" => "landscape"
);
# Change device orientation to landscape
capabilities = {
"deviceOrientation" : "landscape"
}
# Change device orientation to landscape
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["deviceOrientation"] = "landscape"
# Change device orientation to landscape
my $capabilities = {
"deviceOrientation" => "landscape"
}
