detatch doesn't seem to work at all. The script I have (when ran in command prompt as opposed to idle) closes the window when done. I thought adding detach as an option would prevent this.
What can I do to prevent this chromedriver window from closing when finished? why doesnt this work?
Code:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
import selenium.webdriver.chrome.options as Options
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
print("leeeeeel 0.1")
chrome_options = Options.Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("detatch")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()) ,options=chrome_options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
print("1")
Output in command prompt:
>python "close test.py"
leeeeeel 0.1

When I run it in IDE the chrome window stays open with or without detatch added. why does detatch not work?
Instead of adding the argument you need to add an experimental_option as follows:
import selenium.webdriver.chrome.options as Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
