Unable to switch pages in karate-chrome docker due to pop-up blockers

[talk2sreenu]

While executing UI tests in karate-chrome docker container, I see that chrome instance opening with default pop-up blocker feature hence scripts containing the switchPage step are failing eventually. I validated this behavior in my local which is working fine. When I looked at the DockerTarget class, there is no option to suppress the pop-up blockers similar to the chrome driver implementation.

I tried adding "--disable-popup-blocking" to the driverTarget configuration, but the issue is still happening. Below is the complete driver configuration used for docker container.
* configure driverTarget = { docker: 'ptrthomas/karate-chrome', showDriverLog: true, addOptions:["--disable-popup-blocking", "--disable-extensions"]}

Any help to fix this issue or a possible workaround is greatly appreciated.

The sample project with this issue can be accessed here https://github.com/talk2sreenu/karateChromeSwitchPage.git
Maven goal to execute the scripts : mvn clean test

Thanks in advance.

yes ideally there should be a way to customize the docker chrome start script to add custom options. anyone is welcome to contribute a PR or an approach
