I'm trying to open up my chrome profile which is signed into google however am not having any luck.
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(r'user-data-
dir=G:\Users\Kareem\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 10')
chrome_path= r"G:\Users\Kareem\Documents\Work\Computer
Science\Selenium\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)
driver.get("https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?source=search_app")
When you create the driver, you're not actually passing the options to it.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)

I am trying to automate some web scrapping in chrome
Previously I was trying it with a different method where the chrome used to open in guest mode and it was working, here is the previous method
url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/'#Example chrome = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
chrome.get(url)
But when I shifted the method, where the chrome would open logged in by default, it is showing problems, there is no error, but driver.get(url) is not working, infact any lines after webdriver.Chrome... are not working
Here is the code after changes
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(r"user-data-dir=C:\\Users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default")
url = "https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\\Users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", options=options)
print("h")
driver.get(url)
This is where you made a mistake.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\\Users\user\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", options=options)
you need to pass the PATH of the chrome driver Not the chrome browser installed path.
if you not sure path and your chrome browser compatibility then use below code.
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()),options=options)
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()
I started having issues running a python script which uses selenium and chrome driver, so I want to disable extensions of chrome driver using python without losing the path where the driver is located.
Currently I have the below:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
path_to_Ie = 'C:\\Python34\\ChromeDriver\\ChromeDriver.exe'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = path_to_Ie)
url = 'https://wwww.test.com/'
browser.get(url)
and I would like to add the below lines:
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
Any idea how I can merge both codes to make it work properly?
Thanks a lot.
Just provide multiple keyword arguments:
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=path_to_Ie, chrome_options=chrome_options)
I'd like to launch Chrome with its default profile using Python's webdriver so that cookies and site preferences persist across sessions.
How can I do that?
This is what finally got it working for me.
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Path") #Path to your chrome profile
w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)
To find path to your chrome profile data you need to type chrome://version/ into address bar . For ex. mine is displayed as C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default, to use it in the script I had to exclude \Default\ so we end up with only C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data.
Also if you want to have separate profile just for selenium: replace the path with any other path and if it doesn't exist on start up chrome will create new profile and directory for it.
This solved my problem. (remove Default at the end)
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir=/home/username/.config/google-chrome")
cls.driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options,
executable_path="./../ext/chromedriver")
Chrome_Options ist deprecated. Use options instead
I solved my problem with answer of "Yoannes Geissler".
In my case My profile was named "Profile 2"
My Code :
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=C:/Users/GOD/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data')
options.add_argument('--profile-directory=Profile 2')
wd = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
The below line solved my problem:
options.add_argument('--profile-directory=Profile 2')
Just to share what worked for me. Using default's profile was complicated, chrome keeps crashing.
from pathlib import Path
from selenium import webdriver
driver_path = Path("{}/driver/chromedriver75.exe".format(PATH_TO_FOLDER))
user_data_dir = Path("{}/driver/User Data".format(PATH_TO_FOLDER))
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# TELL WHERE IS THE DATA DIR
options.add_argument("--user-data-dir={}".format(user_data_dir))
# USE THIS IF YOU NEED TO HAVE MULTIPLE PROFILES
options.add_argument('--profile-directory=Default')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, options=options)
driver.get("https://google.com/")
By doing this Chrome will create the folder User Data and keep all the data in it where I want and it's easy to just move your project to another machine.
This answer is pretty simple and self-explained.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
exec_path_chrome = "path/to/Google Chrome" #Do not use this path that is extracted from "chrome://version/"
exec_path_driver = "path/to/chromedriver"
ch_options = Options() #Chrome Options
ch_options.add_argument("user-data-dir = /path/to/Chrome Profile") #Extract this path from "chrome://version/"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = exec_path_driver, options = ch_options) #Chrome_Options is deprecated. So we use options instead.
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com/a/57894065/4061346")
As #MadRabbit said type chrome://version/ into the address bar to find the path to your chrome profile data.
It appears like this in Windows C:\Users\pc\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
It appears like this in Mac /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default
So all you have to do is to erase the last portion Default from the profile path.
Note: Make sure you don't run more than one session at the same time to avoid problems.
This is what I did.
import chromedriver_binary
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
chrome_options.add_argument(r"--user-data-dir=User Data Directory")
chrome_options.add_argument(r"--profile-directory=Profile name")
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches",["enable
logging"])
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable
automation"])
chrome_options.add_argument("start-maximized")
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
self.wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 20)
Here we do not need to give the chrome driver path.
