To open chrome browser console you can use the ChromeOptions class with --auto-open-devtools-for-tabs argument as follows:

  • Test Configuration:

    • Selenium: Selenium Standalone Server v3.14.0
    • ChromeDriver: ChromeDriver 2.46.628402
    • Chrome: Google Chrome 72.0.3626.96

  • Code Block:

    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

public class A_Chrome_Browser_Console {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("start-maximized");
        options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
        options.addArguments("--auto-open-devtools-for-tabs");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
    }
}
