Setting geolocation

Option 1: To set geolocation, you can utilise the 'geolocation' capability like so:

   ltOptions.put("geoLocation", "US");

Option 2: To set geolocation, you can use devTools and Emulation.setGeolocationOverride like so:

        // setGeolocationOverride() takes input lattitude, longitude and accuracy as
        // parameters.
        devTools.send(Emulation.setGeolocationOverride(Optional.of(28.622409),
                Optional.of(77.364925),
                Optional.of(1)));

Running Tests

To run single test
    $ mvn test -D suite=single.xml -Dtestng.dtd.http=true
