How to hide and then open browser in selenium python? - python

I need to hide browser do some actions and then open browser in selenium python?
some code:
driver = webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver') # connecting driver
options.add_argument('headless') # that's how I hide browser
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get("google.com")
and now I need to open browser for user

You wont able to do it with your current code as your have initiated chromedriver in headless mode and your browser simulation program that does not have a user interface.Also your url is not corrent in above example. Try below code
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r" path of chromedriver.exe",chrome_options=options)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\New folder\chromedriver.exe")
base = "https://www.google.com/"
driver.get(base)
Output:

Another example
import time
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
headless_page = "https://www.google.com/"
driver.get(headless_page)
url = driver.current_url
print(url) # print headless url
time.sleep(2)
driver = webdriver.Chrome() # reset headless to false
driver.get(url)

How to use Firefox with enable-automation disabled?

The code below starts Chrome loading its options which consequently disables "automation", I would like to know how I do the same for firefox?
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches",["enable-automation"])
#driver_path = r'C:\Users\mkdob\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\firefox-1323\firefox\firefox.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\chromedriver.exe',
chrome_options=options) driver.get('https://google.com')
driver.close()

Print dom after Selenium driver.get

I'm used to requests where I can just print the response after I do make a GET request. I find myself unsure if parts of the page are in the resonse or not, particularly when the website uses React or jQuery.
Is there a way I can do the same with Selemium?
Like this?
DRIVER_PATH = '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=DRIVER_PATH, options=options)
driver.get('example.com')
# Print the DOM
driver.quit()
You are looking for driver.page_source.
from selenium import webdriver
DRIVER_PATH = '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=DRIVER_PATH, options=options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
# Print the DOM
print(driver.page_source)
driver.quit()

Python Selenium Firefox - how to enable headless-mode as part of a class/object?

I have the following code:
options = Options()
options = options.set_headless( headless=True)
class Sel_Driver():
def __init__(self):
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options)
I can then use self.driver.get(url) as part of a method to open urls I feed in. This works - I can feed in and open the URLs, but they don't in headless mode.
(I initially defined the driver as self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=Options().set_headless(headless=True) - but that didn't work, so I tried it as above).
What am I missing? I don't understand why the driver is able to open pages, but the options aren't enabled.
Please try following code :
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_options=options)
This will work for you for sure. Try it.Please specify the path of the driver. It is for chrome change it to firefox.
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path="C:\\Users\\Username\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe")
print("Firefox Headless Browser Invoked")
driver.get('https://www.facebook.com/')
jks = driver.find_element_by_id("email").get_attribute("class")
print(jks)
driver.quit()

How to disable chrome notifications popup in python and selenium?

How to disable chrome notifications popup in python and selenium?
I tried:
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications" : 2}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
But then also it shows notification...
I tried the same codes answered
here but then also I
am not able to disable the notifications!
The selenium package has a ChromeOptions class, in which you can add many arguments. One of which is 'disable-notifications'. You can pass that class to the driver class when initializing it.
from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('disable-notifications')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe', options=chrome_options)
from selenium import webdriver
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('disable-notifications')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Users\PycharmProjects\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe", options=chrome_options)
driver.maximize_window()
This works with the right placement of code:
Click here for Image-->ChromeOptions Pycharm Code Image
You can pass disable-notifications to your chrome options.
Here's an example I have using Javascript, should work the same with Python.
var o = new chrome.Options();
o.addArguments('user-data-dir=./chromeprofile');
o.addArguments('disable-infobars');
o.addArguments("disable-notifications");
o.setUserPreferences( { credentials_enable_service: false } );

How to open a fully functioning chrome browser using selenium WebDriver with python?

When I'm trying to open a web page, its opening in a new chrome window stripped of all the extensions and modules. I'm not able to emulate the certain behavior of the website using selenium chrome browser window but I'm able to do the same thing in a normal chrome window without any issues.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'C:\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("remote_worksplace_link")
id_box = driver.find_element_by_id('Enter user name')
id_box.send_keys('123456')
pass_box = driver.find_element_by_id('passwd')
pass_box.send_keys('123abc')
login_button = driver.find_element_by_id('Log_On')
login_button.click()
driver.implicitly_wait(2)
launch_button = driver.find_element_by_class_name('storeapp-icon ui-sortable-handle')
launch_button.click()
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
driver.close()
all extentions has its .crx file just you need to add those path
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension('path_to_extension')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=executable_path, chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("url")
driver.quit()
