Consider adding --test-type chrome flag
--test-type=foo
has some interesting effects: https://cs.chromium.org/search/?q=kTestType%5Cb&type=cs
Need to collect its effects and make sure ALL users of chrome-launcher want these changes made.
joel and i looked at it and --test-type
is basically the 2014 version of --enable-automation
- It avoids creating application stubs in ~/Applications on mac.
- It makes exit codes slightly more correct
- windows navigation jumplists arent updated https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=389375
- doesn't start some chrome StartPageService
- disables initializing chromecast service
- "Component extensions with background pages are not enabled during tests because they generate a lot of background behavior that can interfere."
- when quitting the browser, it disables additional checks that may stop that quitting process. (like unsaved form modifications or unhandled profile notifications..)
