What's the correct way of opening a new tab in my default browser with selenium on Python?

Question

I have made a simple program that opens a new tab in my default browser when clicked the Open OpenSea Tab button, here:

import tkinter as tk 
import webbrowser


root = tk.Tk() #create a GUI element
root.geometry('500x400') #resolution
root.title("Bulkdozer") #Name of this program
root.attributes('-topmost', True) #keep the program's window top-most

def open_chrome_profile():
    webbrowser.open_new_tab('https://opensea.io/asset/create') #open a new tab using user's default browser
   

#####BUTTON ZONE#######
open_browser = tk.Button(root, width=20,  text="Open OpenSea Tab", command=open_chrome_profile) #executes the function when clicked
open_browser.grid(row=22, column=1) #give some specifications
#####BUTTON ZONE END#######
root.mainloop()

GUI preview:

Result after clicking the "Open OpenSea Tab" button:

So far so good, now, it happens that I need to make the program above interact with the OpenSea Tab, specifically to evaluate if the OpenSea page is asking the user for connecting a wallet or not, so I know I can use Selenium package for that, and I tried first to make this program open a window in my default browser using the following code:

import tkinter as tk 
#from tkinter import filedialog
#import webbrowser
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()

chrome_options.add_argument("--user-data-dir="+r"C:\Users\ResetStoreX\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default") # change to profile path
chrome_options.add_argument('--profile-directory='+'Default')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe", chrome_options=chrome_options) # change the executable_path too

root = tk.Tk() #create a GUI element
root.geometry('500x400') #resolution
root.title("Bulkdozer") #Name of this program
root.attributes('-topmost', True) #keep the program's window top-most

def open_chrome_profile():
    driver.ExecuteScript("window.open('your URL', '_blank');") #open a new tab using user's default browser
   

#####BUTTON ZONE#######
open_browser = tk.Button(root, width=20,  text="Open OpenSea Tab", command=open_chrome_profile) #executes the function when clicked
open_browser.grid(row=22, column=1) #give some visual specifications for the button
#####BUTTON ZONE END#######
root.mainloop()

But it threw the following errors:

I know I ended up breaking my program very badly, so I would like to know what did go wrong?

Or if there's a more simple way to interact with the OpenSea tab using the initial code, I'm all ears...

Answer 1

Sorry for posting another answer, but this is what you should actually do.

You are calling ExecuteScript, but you should be calling execute_script.

I couldn't find any docs on either of them, but it seems that execute_script is what you should use.

With that, your code would look like:

import tkinter as tk 
#from tkinter import filedialog
#import webbrowser
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()

chrome_options.add_argument("--user-data-dir="+r"C:\Users\ResetStoreX\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default") # change to profile path
chrome_options.add_argument('--profile-directory='+'Default')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\Application\brave.exe", chrome_options=chrome_options) # change the executable_path too

root = tk.Tk() #create a GUI element
root.geometry('500x400') #resolution
root.title("Bulkdozer") #Name of this program
root.attributes('-topmost', True) #keep the program's window top-most

def open_chrome_profile():
    driver.ExecuteScript("window.open('your URL', '_blank');") #open a new tab using user's default browser
   

#####BUTTON ZONE#######
open_browser = tk.Button(root, width=20,  text="Open OpenSea Tab", command=open_chrome_profile) #executes the function when clicked
open_browser.grid(row=22, column=1) #give some visual specifications for the button
#####BUTTON ZONE END#######
root.mainloop()
