I would like to run the chrome webdriver on my MAC with my original chrome profile/options, so that i don't need to write a script to log in to the page in the temporary opened automated driver.
my original code without options was run successfully
DRIVER = 'chromedriver'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(DRIVER)
However, when I try to use options I get the following error, and here is my code
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=/Users/Victor/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = "/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome", chrome_options=options)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 0
So how may I fix this problem please?

You have to provide the path for chome binary
Chromedriver is not installed in your System by default. Users individually have to download chromedriver from ChromeDriver - WebDriver for Chrome page and you can place it anywhere within your system.
You must ensure that Chrome is installed at the optimum location as the server expects you to have Chrome installed in the default location for each system as per the snapshot below :
Then your code will be look like, for example
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:\\Program Files\\Chrome\\chrome101.0.4951.67\\chrome.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options = options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('http://google.com/')
print("Chrome Browser Invoked")
driver.quit()
I have checked online and it was mentioned that Selenium closes the browser after running unless you use the option module or the driver.quit() or driver.close() functions but I used the option as shown in the code below but Chrome still closes after 2-3 seconds.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
chrome_driver_path = r"C:\Development\chromedriver.exe"
serv = Service(chrome_driver_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=serv, options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
I'm trying to load my chrome webdriver with extension installed(following the steps mentioned in 'How to load extension within chrome driver in selenium with python') but unable to find the extension installed can you please help me on this, the code I'm trying is.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension('C:/Users/john/Desktop/john/v1.10.0.0.crx')
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')
It just launches and opens the chrome webdriver with google page, I'm trying to open with extension installed is this possible using selenium, can anyone help
Try calling
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
instead of just
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
I can provide you the code written with java, which is working fine
File file = new File("path_to_your_extension");
String path = file.getAbsolutePath();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File(path))
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
I switched from Google's Chrome to Brave web browser and am having a hard time getting it to work with Brave like it did with Chrome. Brave is based on chromium so I guessed it should not be that hard. I made sure that my Brave and Chromedriver are on the same version like this,
~/some/path $ chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 76.0.3809.126 (d80a294506b4c9d18015e755cee48f953ddc3f2f-refs/branch-heads/3809#{#1024})
My chromedriver is also in /user/bin,
~/path $ cd /usr/bin/
/usr/bin $ ls | grep chromedriver
chromedriver
And to check the Brave version, I get: Version 0.68.132 Chromium: 76.0.3809.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Then I run this code,
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/bin/brave-browser')
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
driver.close()
This opens a Brave window but then instead of getting the page the driver is pointed to, an exception is thrown,
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "webscrap.py", line 3, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/bin/brave-browser')
File "/home/username/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 73, in __init__
self.service.start()

% (self.path, return_code)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /usr/bin/brave-browser unexpectedly exited. Status code was: -11
I finally managed to make it work:
Try this python script (python3.7)
from selenium import webdriver
driver_path = "C:/Users/username/PycharmProjects/chromedriver.exe"
brave_path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Application/brave.exe"
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = brave_path
# option.add_argument("--incognito") OPTIONAL
# option.add_argument("--headless") OPTIONAL
# Create new Instance of Chrome
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, chrome_options=option)
browser.get("https://www.google.es")
cheers.
The executable_path key is used to pass the absolute path of the WebDriver binary i.e. the chromedriver executable.
To initiate a Brave browser session additionally you have to pass the absolute location of the brave-browser binary through the binary_location argument of an instance of ChromeOptions.
So the effective code block will be:
from selenium import webdriver
chromedriver_path = '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
brave_path = '/usr/bin/brave-browser'
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = brave_path
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, options=option)
browser.get("https://www.google.es")

You can find a couple of relevant detailed discussions in:

How to initiate Brave browser using Selenium and Python on Windows
DeprecationWarning: use options instead of chrome_options error using Brave Browser With Python Selenium and Chromedriver on Windows
This also works in windows 10 with Brave browser. I downloaded Chromedriver and put it in the folder with Brave.exe.
from selenium import webdriver
driver_path = "C:\\Users\\5150s\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python38\\chromedriver.exe"
brave_path = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\BraveSoftware\\Brave-Browser\\Application\\brave.exe"
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = brave_path
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, options=option)
browser.get("https://www.google.es")
The solutions above gave me some errors. This code removes the executable path and options errors.
Chromedriver is in the pycharm folder.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
driver_path = "C:/Users/johnm/PycharmProjects/chromedriver.exe"
brave_path = "C:/Program Files/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Application/brave.exe"
s=Service(driver_path)
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = brave_path
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=s, options=option)
browser.get("https://www.google.es")
Trying to open "Google" or any other page (website) from Chrome via selenium chrome driver in python.
The code is :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from time import sleep
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://google.com')
However, this opens my chrome window with the specified link and "data;" tab.
Why that data; tab opens? How to fix it?
Using latest versions of Chrome and Chromedriver
You don't need as much module for this just remove all of those apart from:
from selenium import webdriver
And try again you will not get another tab with congaing data.
import time
time.sleep(1)
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])
driver.close()
driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])
time.sleep(1)
I'm not sure if its the same problem, but some time ago I made an exe script to run in another PCs and in one of the PCs selenium just didn't worked with Chrome.
This is the question I posted, but the answers didn't help me, hope it works with you: Chromedriver do not open a new session, it opens a new tab in a existing session
If it doesn't work, I made a workaround to run with Firefox instead of Chrome to ensure it would work properly.
With selenium 4 (or newer), you can use the following code to launch a new browser, (without the Chrome is being controlled message), and then the browser navigates to Google in the same tab:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option("useAutomationExtension", False)
service = ChromeService()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
driver.get('https://google.com')
