How to open Chrome Developer console in Selenium WebDriver using JAVA

Question

I want to ask how to open the Chrome developer Console during selenium tests execution. Currently, when tests are executing, and I open the console manually hitting F12, the tests stop responding immediately and fails after some time.

Can anyone tell me how can I initiate my tests with developer console opened, so I can catch/observe the console errors that occur during test execution.

Answer 1

Use --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs:

This flag makes Chrome auto-open DevTools window for each tab. It is intended to be used by developers and automation to not require user interaction for opening DevTools.
