How to disable Chrome save password bubble for Selenium tests

Each of us should is testing an app that has login and registration feature, I guess… So if thats the case you might observed in google chrome is asking you for saving the password after each successful  login or registration. Honestly for me is really annoying so I got to disabled it , if you share the same feeling here’s how to Disable Chrome’s save Password Bubble for Selenium tests.

There are 2 ways to disable it , first one is to set a browser profile and the second one to open the browser in incognito mode. I simply use the first one but if you feel the second works better for you just try it out.

First option: preference

You can set profile preferences to disable the password manager like so:

prefs = {
  'credentials_enable_service' => false,
  'profile.password_manager_enabled' => false
}

Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome, prefs: prefs)

There is a small disadvantage for using this option , there are no command line switches for this.

Second option: Open in Incognito mode

You can get the bubble away by just opening the browser in incognito mode.

Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, browser: :chrome, args: %w[--incognito])

Incognito might do something else that will affect your tests so be careful before you do.

git push origin master

Happy Testing!
