Availability of Python types for SeleniumBase?

[albertkim]

I'm a big fan of my IDE knowing that types/functions are available as I'm coding. However, right from the start with code like

    with SB(uc=True, headless=True) as sb:
        sb.get(params["start_url"])

VSCode thinks that the sb type is Unknown, meaning that there is no auto-complete for any function names called on sb. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here, or if types are just not a part of this library.

That depends on the SeleniumBase Syntax Format used. With the BaseCase and sb pytest fixture formats, the IDE knows the base methods. In the case of the SB() and Driver() formats, the methods are determined at runtime, so if uc=True, then the UC Mode methods appear. If activating CDP Mode, then more methods appear.

When using the Python debugger, you'll see all the methods. Set a breakpoint(), to get realtime auto-completion for the methods.

This assumes you're looking for the methods, rather than the types associated.
For the types, that can be found in the SB() and Driver() docstrings. Eg:

>>> from seleniumbase import Driver
>>> help(Driver)

I'm using 21. SeleniumBase SB (Python context manager) since my use case is more scraping and less tests.

From Debug Mode:

(Pdb+) from seleniumbase import SB
(Pdb+) help(SB)

Then scroll down...
See all methods. See all types.
