I'm trying to use selenium on OSX to open a chrome window with existing cookies so that I can bypass login. When I don't add the argument 'chrome_options=option' to open chrome with my user settings, the driver.get function works fine and it opens a chrome window with no extensions loaded and browses to the url. But when I use the code as shown below, it simply opens chrome (with all extensions loaded) but does not browse to the URL. Am I missing something simple?
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=/Users/me/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/")
driver = webdriver.Chrome("./assets/chromedriver",chrome_options=options)
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("https://www.gmail.com/")
