Support for Google Chrome user profile instead of using the default profile #162

I'm trying to use robot framework \ selenium library to create a testing environment for Google Chrome extensions.

When providing *googlechrome as the browser for the scripts, chrome starts using a different profile than my user profile, probably some kind of a default profile. So my homepage, extensions, history and local storage are absent.

I've tried using "*custom /path/to/exe -user-data-dir="path/to/userDataDir" but either it doesn't work or I've used it wrong.

How can I make the selenium library run Google Chrome tests using my own user profile?

Thanks!

As far as I can tell this is currently not possible. It is an open issue with selenium itself:

It would be nice to have this, but as only way to get this working is to fix the Selenium, we cannot do it.

If http://jira.openqa.org/browse/SRC-776 is fixed in Selenium, then this should be available without any modifications to our code. Therefore I close this issue.
