How can I initialize Chrome Remote web driver using WebDriverManager while passing ChromeOptions and a Selenium Grid standalone server url?

Question

Trying to initialize a Chrome Remote web driver using WebDriverManager, while passing ChromeOptions and a Selenium Grid standalone server URL using Java. From online examples; Passing Chrome options would look like this:

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
RemoteWebDriver remoteWebDriver = new ChromeDriver(options);
threadLocalDriver.set(remoteWebDriver);

Passing the hub URL for the selenium grid standalone server would look like this:

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
RemoteWebDriver remoteWebDriver = ((RemoteWebDriver) WebDriverManager
                                           .chromedriver()
                                           .remoteAddress(hubURL)
                                           .create());
threadLocalDriver.set(remoteWebDriver);

How can I pass both to a RemoteWebDriver object?

Thanks

You need to use the method capabilities() for that:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless");
WebDriver driver = WebDriverManager.chromedriver()                        
                                   .capabilities(options)
                                   .remoteAddress(hubURL)
                                   .create();

Also calling setup() is not needed as it is called by create() method.
