[Question] How do i block the location pop-up

[harshith-aimyth]

Hi,

I want to block the location popup in my test function in playwright how do I do that?

test('Test123', async ({ page }) => {
        page.goto('google.com');
}

Also, here is a guide for geolocation.

This will not block the geolocation. Is there a way I can block the location from playwright

[dgozman]

@harshith-aimyth Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. So you'd like not to Allow, but to Block with Playwright? This is not supported today. I'll leave this as a feature request.

Is it possible to deny this prompt at the context level by passing this: --deny-permission-prompts to chromium?

[dgozman]

@jameskip --deny-permission-prompts chromium flag works across all contexts, but Playwright will take that into account if you specify launchOptions.args for a single file:

test.use({ launchOptions: { args: ['--deny-permission-prompts'] } });

test('no prompts', async ({ page }) => {
});

Alternatively, just specify it once in the config to disable all prompts in all tests:

export default {
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'chromium',
      use: {
        ..devices['Desktop Chromium'],
        launchOptions: { args: ['--deny-permission-prompts'] },
      },
    }
  ],
};

Hi, any news about Block function for geolocation? I was also looking on how to block it but seeing here, this option is still not supported or wasn't? :)
