protractor - launch chrome with to disable web security for cors

google-chrome, javascript, protractor, selenium, selenium-webdriver

Solution

There is also `args` inside `chromeOptions`, where you can provide the `--disable-web-security` and `--user-data-dir` arguments.

If you are running the tests locally, make sure to supply a profile location for the `--user-data-dir`, otherwise Chrome will use the default profile and load the page in the current browser session (running with all of your extensions and settings).

capabilities: {
  'browserName': 'chrome',
  'chromeOptions': {
    'args': ['--disable-web-security', '--user-data-dir=~/.e2e-chrome-profile']
  }
},

Problem

So our application works in production with a CORS enabled. I have a project that isn't CORS enabled locally. Is there a way to disable web security for protractor? Is there a way for me to add arguments to the selenium instance ? We're looking for a configuration based solution. Our local development machines are pretty locked down on what we can install. So is this possible? What i have tried is setting chrome options: https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/175 But that appears to only be used for chrome extensions.
