I am trying to find how to start Chrome as if it was started by webdriver, but manually from command line.

I was looking at this list of options, but couldn't find what I need. https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

Note: I tried the --enable-automation, but it only displays the chrome is being automated... message. It still opens Chrome from my current profile in a new window.

    The same way that would new ChromeDriver() start the browser. With the same options. Aelxey's answer was what I needed

Before you're doing new ChromeDriver() in your code, add these lines:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.logfile", "D:\\chromedriver.log");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.verboseLogging", "true");

with your custom path to log file. Then open that file and find the line like:

[INFO]: Launching chrome: ...

There you will find the complete command line how driver starts your browser.
