Display the url opened by selenium webdriver on a jupyter notebook - python

For instance I have the following code :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
d = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/bin/chromedriver', options=chrome_options)
d.get('https://www.google.nl/')
I am running this code from wsl on a jupyter notebook.
It executes but I want to be able to show the url that is opened in a chrome web browser.
for example, if I run the code :
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/Users/SoumyaPandey/Desktop/Galytix/Data-Ingestion-Cell/codes/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.nl/')
driver.maximize_window()
locally on spyder, it opens a new google chrome window saying that chrome is controlled by automated test software. I want to do the same in jupyter notebook :

How to stop selenium to download chromedriver everytime

I'm always using the following code to initiate my selenium web driver. But the problem is, it always tries to download the latest chrome driver. How can I prevent this behavior and just let it update if there is any update on the real chrome browser?
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager(cache_valid_range=0).install()), options=options)
you can download chromedriver for your os and right version from https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
and pass the absolute path to executable path below.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path =r"C:/path/to/chromedriver.exe", options=options)
This will not download the driver again
You could use chromedriver-autoinstaller
import chromedriver_autoinstaller
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install()
After this code then add your code after
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

Chrome browser closes after running selenium chrome webdriver

I'm currently learning Selenium 4.0 and have set up a basic script that will click a button on Python's website. I'm using a Chrome webdriver. But whenever I run my code, a chrome window opens to the Python website and then closes immediately. How do I keep it open?
The browser version and the webdriver version are the same, and I've even tried the Edge webdriver and reinstalling Chrome. I've even tried downloading a webdriver to my local directory, but that doesn't work either. Here's my current script:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
service = ChromeService(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)
driver.get("https://www.python.org/")
print(driver.title)
submit = driver.find_element(By.ID, "submit")
submit.click()
After running, my terminal gives this message:
====== WebDriver manager ======
Current google-chrome version is 101.0.4951
Get LATEST chromedriver version for 101.0.4951 google-chrome
Driver [/Users/user1/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/mac64_m1/101.0.4951.41/chromedriver] found in cache
Welcome to Python.org
Process finished with exit code 0
Well, it is the correct behavior as it does everything you told it to do correctly. Infact you're not recieving any errors. After having executed the code, Chrome Driver got killed because the Python app finishes its execution
If you want the Browser opened by the Driver to stay open use Chrome option and add detach
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)

Chromedriver driver.get() working on Mac but does work on Windows (Chrome version 101.0.4951.54)

I am writing a program that uses selenium and chromedriver to load a page. The same code loads the page (nytimes.com) on my Windows computer but not on my Mac. On my Mac, it loads the webdriver with the blank data:, page but just stops and the console log just shows it waiting. I don't know why the driver does not get the page.
This is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
opts = Options()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get('http://nytimes.com')
html = driver.page_source
This below is the last thing it shows in the console log. It just waits there after that with the blinking cursor.
====== WebDriver manager ======
Current google-chrome version is 101.0.4951
Get LATEST chromedriver version for 101.0.4951 google-chrome
Driver [/Users/me/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/mac64_m1/101.0.4951.41/chromedriver]
found in cache
testing.py:14: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass
in a Service object
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
What could be the problem? I have a suspicion that it's the new version of chrome that I'm using but why would that change anything?
From the below message it seems you executed code before which installed older version of driver. Now when you trying to run code again , it detecting older version
in cache. Please check below path once.
Driver [/Users/me/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/mac64_m1/101.0.4951.41/chromedriver]

launching chrome with extension running (python + selenium) how to keep browser open

I am currently trying to launch google chrome with a certain chrome extension using Selenium and Python. The script works partially, google chrome detects and launches with the extension I wish to add though after the browser launches it closes almost instantly (error code: "...selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created"). How do I keep the browser open after chrome launches with the extension? The script does not read anything past the driver launch, "driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:/Webdriver/chromedriver.exe')"
code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
unpacked_extension_path = '/path/to/unpacked/extension/''
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--load-extension={}'.format(unpacked_extension_path))
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:/Webdriver/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('example.com')
I have tried adding "chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)" and/or "global driver."Any help would be very appreciated!

Selenium-Python with chromium browser (windows)

I am trying to launch chromium browser with selenium python on windows 8.
Added binary_location as chromium binary location which is appdata.
But still chromedriver starts google chrome instead of chromium.
If I uninstall google chrome, then chromedriver by default launches chromium. But with chrome installed it always launches chrome regardless.
Does anyone have an idea on how to start chromium with selenium while chrome installed?
Please do not mark it as duplicate. The other one was about unix and solution provided to selenium java while this one is about windows and python.
Try this:
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = r"D:\.....\chrome.exe"
# This line defines your Chromium exe file location.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
Worked for me.
I installed both Chrome and Chromium.
It starts the specified exe.
To start Chromium browser you can use the following code block :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location("C:\\path\\to\\chrome.exe") //path to chromium binary
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu-vsync") //only for Windows
options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=9222") //for MAC & Linux
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)
driver.get('http://google.com/')
Note : Here you can find more details about Run Chromium with flags
