I tried to run Selenium in a certain Chrome Profile with:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
import time
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--profile-directory=Profile 1')
options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=/Users/xxxxxx/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), executable_path='/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome', options=options)
browser.get("https://gmail.com")
browser.maximize_window
time.sleep(3)
I had to add all
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
in order to make it work. (Selenium: WebDriverException:Chrome failed to start: crashed as google-chrome is no longer running so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed first solution)
However, I want to run this script without "--headless" to show the browser without opening.
The error log was:
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), executable_path='/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome', options=options)
Traceback (most recent call last):
