Setting custom profile with command line switch "--user-data-dir" will fail and open new profile every time

[svn-dys]

Unfortunately --user-data-dir=/path/to/existing/profile switch is not working, thus rendering issues that rely on previously saved data useless and un-bisectable... :(

Command used:
python tools/bisect-builds.py -a win64 -g 1117753 -b 1129888 --use-local-cache -- --enable-features=TabGroupsSave --no-first-run --user-data-dir=/existing/profile

I have tried setting the profile directory to --user-data-dir=/tmp as described in the doc, but it's not working either... :(

I cannot bisect an issue as it requires a previously saved tab group (a new feature of Chrome) to be loaded and saved already.

:(

Okay, I resolved my own issue. I see in bisect-builds.py that you have to pass --profile || -p || --user-data-dir before the command line switches for Chrome.

My fixed command:
python tools/bisect-builds.py -a win64 -g 1117753 -b 1129888 --use-local-cache --verify-range --profile C:/Users/Name/chromium/src/out/Default/tmp -- --enable-features=TabGroupsSave

However in the doc, the example passes --user-data-dir as a Chrome command line switch rather than a bisect-builds switch.

Example from doc:
python tools/bisect-builds.py -a mac -g 782793 -b 800218 --use-local-cache --verify-range -- --no-first-run --user-data-dir=/tmp http://example.com

The doc should be updated OR It might be that it's a bug with passing --user-data-dir to Chrome.

Thanks.
