Start chrome app not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am not able to start my Chrome app with chromedriver:

I tried:

<code>Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :args => ["--app-id= 
olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp"]</code>

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to the Chrome Web Store

2. Install an App

3. Go to preferences --> Extensions

4. Enable Developer-Modus

5. Now you can see the App-Id for eg: ID: olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp

6. Try to start WebDriver with this option:
   <code>driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :args => ["--app-id=olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp"]</code>

Here is a list of arguments that should be valid for chromedriver:

Thanks for your help!

Platform:   Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

Chromedriver:   2.13

selenium-webdriver:  2.44.0

Steps to reproduce:

irb(main):001:0> require "selenium-webdriver"

=> true

irb(main):002:0> driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, :args => 
["--app-id=olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp"]

=> #<Selenium::WebDriver::Driver:0x..f8fb770c452e73948 browser=:chrome>

Opens an blank page, The problem is here that the app is not installed

The command:

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome, switches: 
["--load-extension=folder/where/app --app-id=olddgoefnehjeogjhpcpolcnnifnglkp"]

Installs the app correctly, but doesn't start it!

Thanks for your help!
