Is it possible to modify the userDataDir setting of a running JXBrowser instance on a vision window?
EngineOptions.newBuilder
.userDataDir(somePath)
Hey @jpark!
It doesn’t look like we expose this directly, but you might be able to do it by providing the correct switch with prefix by setting a system property on the client. It looks like ignition.chromium.switch.user-data-dir=/some/path/to/userdata might work.
Let me know if you get that working!

I’ve added that option in the client launcher jvm argument, but it doesn’t seem to affect anything.

Adding ignition.chromium.switch.user-data-dir=/some/path/to/userdata doesn't seem to have any effect?
Sorry, probably should have said this a system prop (D prop) so -Dignition.chromium.switch.user-data-dir=/some/path/to/userdata defined in the Vision Client Launchers' JVM options in that vision application's settings.
I was able to confirm this works locally. Let me know if that helps.
Obviously I am doing something incorrectly.
Try forward-slashes or double back-slashes in your path?
I’ve tried every combination of slashes.
Hey Jae,
I did some poking on windows and it looks like JxBrowser is supplying its own user-data-dir on windows which is preventing the one applied as a switch. There is a way to supply this value to JxBrowser directly instead of passing it through to chromium (as you mentioned in your first comment) and Im going to open a ticket to expose that so its available regardless of the OS you are on.
