How to disable/remove the chrome headless disclaimer in selenium and java

I have automated a page and running through 'Chromeheadless', Script is in an infinite loop because there is a chrome automation disclaimer and under that, the actual element to click exists.
The automation page is attached below:
The Automation code to make chrome as headless is as below:
String chromePath = getChromeDriverPath();
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromePath);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1920,1200","--ignore-certificate-errors");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
If I run the script using a normal chrome driver, it is working fine. The issue with only chrome headless mode. Please help me how to disable/remove the disclaimer to proceed with the execution.

Having issues with firefox driver or chrome driver for selenium

For ex my chrome when dropped in the commpand prompt gives me the path
- /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app
I set
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/Applications/Google/Chrome.app");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
But it doesnt work, same with firefox. I used a lot of suggestions already given but none seems to work. Can someone pls let me know if there is something to be added?

Why have you used "/Applications/Google/Chrome.app". You would need to provide the path of the driver only, not the browser. Below is the code for Firefox, but you would need to download and configure GeckoDriver (for latest version of FF and Selenium 3.x)
public class FirefoxTest {
#Test
public void FirefoxTest_Test1() {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","D:\\Firefox\\geckodriver.exe");
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
}
}
Check this link for complete details for downloading and setup of Geckodriver with Firefox - http://automationtestinghub.com/selenium-3-0-launch-firefox-with-geckodriver/

For Chrome: Need to Download fresh Chrome Driver from http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.24/
and mention local system path up to chomedriver.exe
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","G:\\ravik\\Ravi-Training\\Selenium\\Drivers\\cd\\chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeDriver d1 = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
For FF: if your firefox version is latest(46.0 or above) then user geckodriver along with selenium 2.53.0 jar files. download geckodriver form https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases and then save it as "wires" in your local system. mention local system path up to wires.
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "G:\\ravik\\Ravi-Training\\Selenium\\Marionette for firefox\\wires.exe");
WebDriver driver = new MarionetteDriver();
Hope this could be helpful.

The easiest way to use chrome driver is.. download and place the driver into the bin folder of your project. no need to set the path of the driver location

Selenium webdriver not opening url instead opening a blank page only

I have been trying to use selenium webdriver in my java code but it is not opening any url instead it is just opening a blank page. I am using selenium webdriver version 2.48 and firefox version 45.1.0 . I tried installing previous versin of firefox to my redhat but it is not working and giving error
" libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM."
My java code :
FirefoxProfile prof = new FirefoxProfile();
prof.setPreference("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
prof.setPreference("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "about:blank");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(prof);
// TestUtils
//.createCrawlDriverForTest(createDefaultCapabilities())
driver.get("https://www.google.com/");

Actually selenium 2.48 supports upto firefox version 41 so either i had to update the selenium webdriver version or use an older version of firefox.
using an older version did the trick for me.

How can I start installed browser without adding IE driver or Chrome driver in selenium web driver?

I have installed IE and chrome browser in my computer. I want to run my selenium script from original browser with all add-ons and default setting.
I am able to find *.exe of browser with some capabilities.But can not able to write and open link (driver.get()) in browser. Please refer following code.
DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INTRODUCE_FLAKINESS_BY_IGNORING_SECURITY_DOMAINS, true);
cap.setCapability(InternetExplorerDriver.INITIAL_BROWSER_URL, DriverTestNG.url);
DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer().setCapability("ignoreProtectedModeSettings", true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "src/main/resources/Framework/Drivers/Windows/IEDriverServer_Win32_2.40.0/IEDriverServer.exe");
cap.setCapability("IE.binary", "C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe");
cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
cap.setJavascriptEnabled(true);
cap.setCapability("requireWindowFocus", true);
cap.setCapability("enablePersistentHover", false);
cap.setCapability("elementScrollBehavior", 1);
cap.setCapability("cssSelectorsEnabled", true);
cap.setCapability("nativeEvents", true);
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(cap);
May be I have missed something.I am not sure about this that selenium web driver supports this functionality or not.
Please guide me for it.
Thanks in advance.

Regarding to your title, you can not run Internet Explorer or Chrome without using a webDriver because you need the webDriver as an API to access the functionality of IE or chrome.
But you can still use extensions and your default settings. The reason why you don't see any extensions running chromeDriver is that it always creates a new temporary profile for each test-session. If you want to run your own custom profile with extensions and settings you have to tell chromeDriver which user profile it should use by defining the user-data-dir.
You can find the capabilities here:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/capabilities
example:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=C:/Users/user_name/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data");
You can also specifiy extensions by using:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/extensions
I don't use IEdriver so I can't tell you how it works with the IE but as far as i know the internet explorer does not have profiles and the extensions are managed somewhere in the registry. So I would assume that extensions installed before running the tests are available also trough IEWebDriver.

Selenium Webdriver - Opera - Unable to receive message from renderer

I'm trying to run my Java selenium tests using Opera (version 31). I'm using last version of Selenium Webdriver (2.47.1) and last version of OperaChromiumDriver (0.2.2).
I've tried to use next method to instantiate Opera:
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "\\path\\to\\my\\operadriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
And i've tried another method with RemoteWebdriver:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.opera();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("/path/to/opera");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:9515"),capabilities);
(these methods are described in answers to this question: How to use OperaChromiumDriver for opera version >12.X)
Both methods have the same problem.
Opera opens, but then crushes with next exception:
org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: session not created exception from disconnected: Unable to receive message from renderer
(Session info: Opera with embedded Chromium 0.1889.230)
(Driver info: OperaDriver=0.2.0 (ba47709ed9e35ce26dbd960fb5d75be104290d96),platform=Windows NT 6.1 x86_64
(WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Firefox, Chrome and IE drivers work as it should be, i have such problem only with OperaChromiumDriver.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

Try to instantiate OperaDriver like this instead:
File operaFile = new File("\\path\\to\\my\\operadriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.opera.driver", operaFile.getAbsolutePath());
WebDriver driver = new OperaDriver();
In my application, .getAbsolutePath() works but just specifying the path in .setProperty does not. No idea why, since the string output of either is identical.
Unfortunately I am still unable to use OperaDriver in my tests because it becomes unresponsive after loading a few pages. This occurs on 3 different machines running different versions of Windows and returns only this error:
[SEVERE]: Timed out receiving message from renderer:
FirefoxDriver, ChromeDriver, and InternetExplorerDriver all work fine with my tests, so, whatever.
