Open new Chrome window with different profile from command line
I want to run a command line that opens a new chrome window with another profile.
I tested the following commands:
Preconditions:
I have two profiles:
Profile 1andProfile 2Chrome is already running with
Profile 1
google-chrome --profile-directory="Profile 2"
The above command does nothing other than bringing focus to the currently running chrome with Profile 1
I also tried:
google-chrome --profile-directory="Profile 2" --new-window
The effect is the same.
I want to run a command line that opens a new chrome window with Profile 2 while there is already a Chrome window running with Profile 1

When adding new profile named Whatever, Chrome does not create profile folder with the same name. Naming convention is "Profile X", where X is integer. So, it may be the case to check the real profile folder name before executing the command.
chrome --profile-directory="Profile folder name" works fine on Ubuntu.
