How to maximize window in Jenkins using Python, Selenium Webdriver and Chromedriver?

Question

How to maximize a window in Jenkins? I tried to maximize window using:

chromeOptions = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chromeOptions.add_argument("--start-maximized")
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chromeOptions)


driver.maximize_window()

driver.set_window_size(1920,1080)

driver.fullscreen_window()

All works when I run the test in PyCharm, but in Jenkins, the window does not change size.

The problem is with Jenkins running as a windows service.

In Windows command prompt, go to folder where jenkins-cli.jar file is located.

And stop the service.

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 safe-shutdown --username "YourUsername" 
--password "YourPassword"

Have Jenkins run from the command prompt using a script.
