Disable Flash
You can disable Flash in Chrome, Firefox and IE as follows:
Select a browser:
Disabling Flash in Chrome
To disable Flash in Chrome, create a chromeOptions capability, and pass the
--disable-plugins argument.
Note: Using this argument will turn off all the plugins in the browser.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-plugins");
caps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
var capabilities = {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: ['--disable-plugins'],
},
};
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
DesiredCapabilities caps;
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-plugins");
caps = (DesiredCapabilities)chromeOptions.ToCapabilities();
$chromeOptions = array('args'=>array('--disable-plugins'));
$caps = array("platform"=>"WINDOWS", "browserName"=>"chrome", "chromeOptions"=>$chromeOptions);
caps = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
caps["chromeOptions"] = {}
caps["chromeOptions"]["args"] = ["--disable-plugins"]
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.chrome
caps["chromeOptions"] = {}
caps["chromeOptions"]["args"] = ["--disable-plugins"]
$caps->{"chromeOptions"} = { "args" => ("--disable-plugins") };
Disabling Flash in Firefox
To disable Flash in Firefox, set the flash capability to 0.
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("plugin.state.flash", 0);
caps.setCapability(FirefoxDriver.PROFILE, profile);
// Install firefox-profile package
npm install firefox-profile
var myProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
myProfile.setPreference("plugin.state.flash", 0);
myProfile.updatePreferences();
using OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox;
FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.Firefox();
firefoxProfile.SetPreference("plugin.state.flash", 0);
caps.SetCapability(FirefoxDriver.ProfileCapabilityName, firefoxProfile.ToBase64String());
$profile = new FirefoxProfile();
$profile->setPreference(
'plugin.state.flash', 0
);
$caps = DesiredCapabilities::firefox();
$caps->setCapability(FirefoxDriver::PROFILE, $profile);
caps = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference('plugin.state.flash', 0)
profile.update_preferences()
driver = webdriver.Remote(
command_executor='https://YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_ACCESS_KEY@hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub',
desired_capabilities=caps, browser_profile=profile)
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile["plugin.state.flash"] = 0
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.firefox(:firefox_profile => profile)
Disabling Flash in Internet Explorer
To disable Flash in Internet explorer, pass the browserstack.ie.noFlash
capability in your tests.
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("browserstack.ie.noFlash", "true");
var capabilities = {
'browserstack.ie.noFlash': 'true',
};
desiredCap.SetCapability("browserstack.ie.noFlash", "true");
$caps['browserstack.ie.noFlash'] = "true";
desired_cap["browserstack.ie.noFlash"] = "true"
caps["browserstack.ie.noFlash"] = "true"
$extraCaps->{"browserstack.ie.noFlash"} = "true";
