Selenium Python login using Chrome profile

I am trying to use a Chrome profile to login to skinport.com.

Here is my code:

"""

option = uc.ChromeOptions()

option.add_argument(
     rf'--user-data-dir=C:\Users\kumpd\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data')
option.add_argument(r'--profile-directory=Default')
option.add_argument("--log-level=3")
driver = uc.Chrome(options=option)

time.sleep(2)

driver.get("https://skinport.com")

time.sleep(3)

"""

The program successfully opens a Chrome browser where I am logged into Google, but then I get this error:

"""

Any idea what could be causing this error? Also, for reference, I navigated to a webpage where my Chrome priofile should have me logged in, but I am not logged in.

Thanks for any help

*UPDATE

I am still getting the same error, but with the following code I can manually navigate to the webpage and I am logged in:

exec_path_driver = r"C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe"

ch_options = Options()
ch_options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\kumpd\\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=exec_path_driver, options=ch_options)

driver.get("https://skinport.com")

My problem now is that the error prevents anything following in the program to be prevented from running, so I still very much need to fix it.

Solution

  • I was able to get it to work with this code:

    ch_options = Options()
ch_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
ch_options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\kumpd\\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=ch_options)

time.sleep(2)

driver.get("https://skinport.com/market?cat=Container&item=Glove+Case&sort=price&order=asc")

    I believe the problem was the exec_driver_path I was using. I was also missing the Service object.
