Our automation tests using Selenium WebDriver are executed remotely in TeamCity on a Windows Server 2012 EC2 instance.
While working with Chrome on this instance, I encountered an issue where I am unable to resize the browser. Interestingly, resizing works perfectly fine with Firefox, but Chrome remains stuck at 1024 X 768.
I have experimented with various methods to try and resolve this problem, but unfortunately, none of them have yielded positive results so far.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("--start-maximized")
WebDriver.Current.Manage().Window.Size = new Size(width, height);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("window-size=1920,1080");
All these approaches worked flawlessly when tested locally on a Windows 10 machine running Chrome version 49.0.2623.110 and Chrome Driver version 2.9. However, the issue seems to persist only on the remote server.
My query is whether there exists any other method to resize the Chrome browser that I haven't tried yet or if it could potentially be an inherent problem with the ChromeDriver itself?
