| # Chrome and Chromium |
| |
| When running Chrome, there are some useful command line arguments. |
| |
| You can inform `wpt` of the release channel of Chrome using `--channel`. |
| `wpt` is able to find the correct binary in the following cases: |
| * On Linux for stable, beta and dev channels if |
| `google-chrome-{stable,beta,unstable}` are in `PATH`; |
| * On Mac for stable and canary channels if the official DMGs are installed. |
| |
| In other cases, you will need to specify the path to the Chrome binary with |
| `--binary`. For example: |
| |
| ```bash |
| ./wpt run --channel dev --binary /path/to/non-default/google-chrome chrome |
| ``` |
| |
| Note: when the channel is "dev", `wpt` will *automatically* enable all |
| [experimental web platform features][1] |
| (chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features) by passing |
| `--enable-experimental-web-platform-features` to Chrome. |
| |
| If you want to enable a specific [runtime enabled feature][1], use |
| `--binary-arg` to specify the flag(s) that you want to pass to Chrome: |
| |
| ```bash |
| ./wpt run --binary-arg=--enable-blink-features=AsyncClipboard chrome clipboard-apis/ |
| ``` |
| |
| To use a custom chromedriver build, build the `chromedriver` target in your chromium checkout, |
| and then pass `--webdriver-binary /path/to/non-default/chromedriver` to `wpt run`. |
| |
| [A detailed explanation is available](chrome-chromium-installation-detection.html) |
| for more information on how wpt detects and installs the components for Chrome and Chromium. |
