How to Load my unpacked chrome extension

Hi, i am using codeceptJS with webdriver Selenium standalone server. my problem is how do i load my unpacked chrome extension when i run tests. i’ve been searching for the solution from past 4 hours but couldn’t find a solution.

@furqan to load a custom extension in chrome you need to handle that in the browser capabilities like so:

    browser: 'chrome',
        desiredCapabilities: {
            'goog:chromeOptions': {
                args: [
                    '--disable-gpu',
                    '--no-sandbox',
                    '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
                    '--ignore-certificate-errors',
                    '--load-extension=/path/to/your/unpacked/extension'
                    // uncomment the following line if you need the browser console
                    // '--auto-open-devtools-for-tabs',
                ],
            },
            selenoidOptions: {
                enableVNC: true,
                enableLog: true,
                logName: 'session-log.log',
                sessionTimeout: '10m',
                hostsEntries: [
                    'some host entries here',
                ],
            },
        },
