How can I reconnect to the browser opened by webdriver with selenium?
(4 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have more than 4 chrome browser opened in the background now I want to connect one of the browsers that already open. how do I connect?
I have all chrome (that already open) URL and session id stored in DB. but I don't know how to connect to an already open browser after once I open different browsers?
Any type of help is appreciated and if any query regarding my question please ask me.
Selenium has the option to handle the browser windows, you can use the method
"window_handles()" which will return a list of windows or tabs identified by a UUID after you can switch to whatever you want, here is a piece of code that shows the usage of that method. Also if want to handle just one window you can use "window_handle()" which shows the current window UUID
#current window
first_tab = browser.window_handles[0]
#create new tab
browser.execute_script("window.open()")
#move to new tab
new_tab = browser.window_handles[1]
browser.switch_to.window(new_tab)
browser.get('https://gmail.com')
#switch to first tab
browser.switch_to.window(first_tab)

How to get rid of the infobar "Chrome is being controlled by automated test software" through Selenium

Unable to hide "Chrome is being controlled by automated software" infobar within Chrome v76
(8 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am a beginner with Selenium. I can not seem to disable the "AutomationControlled" flag in Chrome. according to this article: https://piprogramming.org/articles/How-to-make-Selenium-undetectable-and-stealth--7-Ways-to-hide-your-Bot-Automation-from-Detection-0000000017.html#:~:text=%207%20Ways%20to%20hide%20your%20Bot%20Automation,you%20if%20you%20are%20using%20Linux...%20More%20, there are 2 main ways of doing this. One of them can be done before instantiating the driver so that not even Chrome knows that is is being controlled by Selenium. This is the one I am interested in, but I can not get it to work.
Here is what I have:
from selenium import webdriver
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='chromedriver.exe',options=option)
I dont get any errors with this but Chrome sure knows it is being controlled by Selenium bc the banner shows along the top of the browser. I have tried to confirm if the flag AutomationControlled is set but I cannot find where I can check this. I am running Chromedriver 87. something.
Any help is appreciated.

How can I reconnect to the browser opened by webdriver with selenium?

I'm new to Selenieum and still trying to understand how the different pieces work together. I am trying to automate some interaction tasks on an internal website using Python. However, I am trying to use the existing Chrome browser session AFTER I've authenticated with my username and password rather than launching a new browser. I'd like to start where my browser is currently and I'd also like to use a separate profile when launching chrome as to not pollute the default Chrome browser (not sure this is necessary). The driver is currently on a folder on my desktop and I also created a variable ChromeDriver location in my PATH environment variable on my Mac but I am not sure that is really necessary. I also created I've researched several similar post and found the code below on SO, but when I run it still opens a new browser and drops me at the login screen.
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = 'where chrome driver is located'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
url = driver.command_executor._url
session_id = driver.session_id
driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=url,desired_capabilities={})
driver.close()
driver.session_id = session_id
driver.get("https://whereidliketobeafterlogin")
Based on this post here it looks like your answer may already be available.
I had a similar requirement but it was part of a larger application so i created a quick dialog box using the built in tkinter library to take a username and password so that Selenium could do the log in for me, that way my user data was never stored anywhere.
As far as using a separate profile than whats currently logged in your browser and all, when Selenium web driver starts up a new browser it functions as if it is in the incognito/private version, not retaining any of the login/session info unless specified through parameters.
Lastly, the PATH environment variable isnt entirely necessary, as long as you give filepath to the driver on your desktop when you create your webdriver object you are good.

Can Selenium interact with an existing browser session?
(15 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I want to extract information from a news site. When I run the Python script, there is a browser that launches and connects to an X site to extract the information I need.
Each time when I want to extract information, the browser must restart on each execution.
I want to leave the browser always launched, then I execute at any time a script which allows to extract the information.
Do you have an idea please? Thank you in advance.
There are 2 ways:
1) don't close the browser window once you open it.
don't use this: driver.close())
2) don't send a get request each time you modify your code.
don't do this more than once: driver.get("some url")

Can a website detect when you are using Selenium with chromedriver?
(25 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
What options do I set for chromedriver so that the web server cannot tells the browser is manually launched or programming launched using Selenium?
Thanks,
The Webserver you try to access has no way of knowing how the browser has been launched. It can only detect (or rather, guess) that it's an automated browser when said browser shows atypical behavior for a human (e.g. makes loads of requests per seconds, clicks 2 things with no delay whatsoever). Therefor it doesn't matter how you launch the browser - just how you use it.
