How to open a already logged-in chrome browser in selenium python-CodePudding

I want to open a browser that is logged in to my gmail account like my default browser in selenium. Is there a way to do this?

edit:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Path") #Path to your chrome profile
w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)

this method does not work for me.

You can use your profile that you use to open browser:

from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile('/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/xxxx-release/') # this work for linux, if you use windows, you can find this file in local AppData
browser = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='./geckodriver', firefox_profile =profile)

This will use your standard profile that you use with your standard browser, including logins, cookies etc.

Edit: I used firefox here, but the same principle works with chrome as well.

Chrome Options

Chrome options are very particular on how you call them. Syntax needs to be followed with perfection. Correct your below syntax errors by changing your old code:

options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Path")

To the following code:

userdatadir = 'C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data'
chromeOptions.add_argument(f"--user-data-dir={userdatadir}")

CodePudding user response：

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(f"user-data-dir={CHROME_USER_DIR}")
options.add_argument("profile-directory=Default")

This will open the Default Profile in Chrome.

The user-data-dir looks something like C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

To open a different profile, replace the Default with your profile directory
