Can't maximize chrome window using Selenium

I've tried to maximize the window onPreapre by the command below:

browser.driver.manage().window().maximize();

But it doesn't maxmize the window and there's no error on selenium webdriver logs, actually it seems like the execute has been succeed -

Were facing the same kind of problem and solved using this snippet: (Java)

driver.manage().window().fullscreen();

**Screen goes in the fullscreen mode, and you will not be able to see the address bar, all you will see is the content of the page.

I had the same problem with our browser.manage().window().setSize(1024, 768);, but when I used a better ratio it worked fine browser.manage().window().setSize(1200, 800);

Not sure this will help anyone but hope it does.

The best way to maximize a chrome app is through JavaScript. Try this:

//Maximizing Chrome App Window.
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor.executeScript("window.resizeTo(1366, 768);");

Change the parameters 1366, 768 according to your monitor settings/setup.

You can use javascript to do this.

((IJavaScriptExecutor)browser).ExecuteScript("window.resizeTo(x, y);");

'x' and 'y' depends on your screen resolution.

You can try it with start-maximized flag: 

capabilities: {
  'browserName': 'chrome',
  'chromeOptions': {
    'args': ['start-maximized']
  }
}

I remember we had a similar issue - what we did is first set the size of the window and then maximize - don't remember exactly why did we apply this workaround, but it works for us:

browser.manage().window().setSize(1400, 900);
browser.manage().window().maximize();

According to your log - you do maximization twice. Maybe the first time it is maximized, and after the second try it is restored down to default size
