Why can't I connect to Chrome when using the undetected chromedriver?-CodePudding

I am running a python script inside a docker container running https://hub.docker.com/r/dorowu/ubuntu-desktop-lxde-vnc/.
The python script can be found below:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.NOTSET)
import undetected_chromedriver.v2 as uc
import time
driver = uc.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
time.sleep(777)

The output of the logs can be found below:

As you can see, it downloads a new version "105.0.5195.52", I know this version has to match the version of the chrome browser on the device. This can be seen below:

root@5e90a4da40db:~# /usr/bin/google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 105.0.5195.125

I am pretty lost, if anyone has an idea on how to fix this, please let me know!

There's a solution posted for this on the GitHub ticket: https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver/issues/743#issuecomment-1249283856

First, you'll need an Xvfb virtual display on that Linux machine so that you avoid using headless mode. More info here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36608933/7058266

Second, you'll probably need --no-sandbox as a Chromium option to avoid errors on Linux.

That should cover things. To simplify this process, you might be able to use an existing Selenium Python framework, https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase, which already gives you the settings that you need based on the operating system that you're using.

SeleniumBase includes the pytest options: --xvfb and --uc for automatically using Xvfb mode, and undetected-chromedriver mode as options. And it includes updates to the undetected-chromedriver library, which hasn't been updated in over 6 months at the time of this post.

I think this solves the issue:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.NOTSET)
import undetected_chromedriver.v2 as uc
import time
options = uc.ChromeOptions()
options.debugger_address="127.0.0.1:42333"

driver = uc.Chrome(options=options, version_main=89)
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
time.sleep(777)

disclaimer: I don't know either python or selenium so for me it works because the logs say http requests return 200 instead of 500. The debugger_address comes from looking at the source code at https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver and noticing there is an issue on how the debugger host and port are set. The value 42333 is random. Version_main=89 is to fix an incompatibility issue. Remove it and you will see it. Maybe there are better ways to fix it...
