I'm trying use Selenium to open chrome using a specific profile. I located the profile location in chrome://version and used the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument(
"user-data-dir=../../Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 2/")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
executable_path='./chromedriver', options=options)
driver.get("https://google.com")
But instead, it throws this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "select_files.py", line 10, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 76, in __init__

self.start_session(capabilities, browser_profile)

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot parse internal JSON template: Line: 1, column: 1, Unexpected token.
I tried using without the /profile 2/ but it still comes up with this error
I am using Python 3, Selenium 1.25.9, Chrome Version 85.0.4183.83, Chrome Driver MacOS Catalina
