I have a following problem. I would like to run chromium on my Ubuntu using chromedriver_autoinstaller. My code is:
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_autoinstaller
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install() # Check if the current version of chromedriver exists
# and if it doesn't exist, download it automatically,
# then add chromedriver to path
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options)
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
But desired url http://www.python.org does not open, I just see data:, in the browser:
I tried to add some options, but it did not help:
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_autoinstaller
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install() # Check if the current version of chromedriver exists
# and if it doesn't exist, download it automatically,
# then add chromedriver to path
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=9222')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options)
driver.get("http://www.python.org")

Do you know, what is the problem here?
I found this questions, but it did not help me: WebDriverException: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist while trying to initiate Chrome Browser

The problem was that Docker requires chrome_options.add_argument("--headless") when running chrome in selenium
