Selenium Project runs fine on Local but shows error while running on azure CI

I'm trying to create an azure pipeline for Selenium Maven project. In local Eclipse it works fine. My Chrome version is 94 and Chrome driver is also 94. When I'm running it in pipeline it shows an error element is not interactable.
I have tried following code with explicit driver wait of 1 minute.
WebElement BrokerBranch = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.id("element-id")));
In VMs, screen size will be very small by default (1040, 740). some element is popping up to your desired element. please run it as headless mode with bigger screen size.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
options.addArguments("--window-size=1936,1080");
options.addArguments("--headless");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

ChromeOptions --headless has no effect in Selenium 3.5.3

I am using selenium 3.5.3 in my automation tool and chrome driver version updated to 76. My issue is chrome option which i set is no effect.
I tried in windows 10 machine.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=1366,768");
DesiredCapability chrome = new DesiredCapability().chrome();
chrome.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
driver = new ChromeDriver(chrome);
driver.get("https://bing.com");
driver.quit();
In the above piece of code i am trying to run in chrome headless. But it has no effect and browser is launching and shows an execution.
chrome headless was working fine with selenium 3.5.3 and chrome driver 2.46

What is the best way to check whether a browser extension has finished installing in Selenium?

A browser extension can be installed for a ChromeDriver object by using the following code:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File(pathToExtension));
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
This works perfectly, however I'd like to check whether installation of this extension is completed. Is there a way to do this in Selenium? I know how to let Selenium wait for a given amount of time, but I wondered if there is a cleaner solution.

Selenium FindElement and Chrome in Headless mode

After starting chromedriver.exe in headless mode following this advice and using just these arguments
options.AddArgument("headless");
options.AddArgument("window-size=1280,960");
The chromedriver opens invisibly. But Selenium's FindElement() command is not finding anything on the headless Chrome page. Instead it throws this exception:
An exception of type 'OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchElementException' occurred in WebDriver.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: no such element: Unable to locate element:
Q1: Has anyone had success running Selenium commands in Chrome's headless mode?
Q2: Have you been able to use FindElement with a chromedriver running in headless mode? If yes, how did you do it?
After reading more, perhaps something along these lines may be necessary? Add this to the Chrome startup options and then maybe connect chromedriver to it?
"remote-debugging-port=9222"
But with that option the IWebDriver and chromedriver does not open.
Background info: to answer, why would you want to do this? The primary reason was for tests run as a part of CI. These are tests that run on a VM and may not support 1080p monitors. If we ran it in headless mode and set the resolution that way we could.
Add below lines of code in your main class:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setHeadless(true);
options.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions"); options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false); options.addArguments("--proxy-server='direct://'");
options.addArguments("--proxy-bypass-list=*");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
options.addArguments("--headless");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Remove security message using Selenium WebDriver with Java

While running Selenium automated tests on Chrome, I get following type of error message:
You're using an unsupported command line flag: ignore-certificate-errors. Stability and security will suffer
Can someone please suggest how can I remove it using Selenium WebDriver with Java?
Set mode "test-type" to ChromeDriver capabilities
Here's my sample code in Java
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("test-type", "start-maximized",
"no-default-browser-check");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
If you are using chrome version 35.x, this kind of pop-up will come. Try using chrome version 34.x and then see.
Actually its the problem with chrome builds. Just give it a try.
Thank you,
