Can i use ChromeOptions with undected mode?

[Jisan00b]

import time
import logging
from selenium.webdriver import ChromeOptions, Chrome
from seleniumbase import Driver


def get_driver(use_base=False):
    chrome_options = ChromeOptions()
    prefs = {"download.default_directory": "downloads",
             "plugins.plugins_list": [{"enabled": False, "name": "Chrome Pdf Viewer"}],
             "plugins.always_open_pdf_externally": True,
             "profile.default_content_setting_values.automatic_downloads": 1,
             }
    chrome_options.add_argument('window-size=1200x600')
    chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
    chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-setuid-sandbox")
    chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
    chrome_options.add_argument("--ignore-ssl-errors=yes")
    chrome_options.add_argument("--ignore-certificate-errors")
    chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)
    chrome_options.accept_insecure_certs = True
    if use_base:
        logging.info("Instantiating Chrome with SeleniumBase...")
        return Driver(browser="chrome", undetected=True, options=chrome_options)
    else:
        logging.info("Instantiating Chrome with standard Selenium WebDriver...")
        return Chrome(options=chrome_options)


driver = get_driver()
driver.get("https://www.google.co.in/")
time.sleep(10)
driver.quit()

I'm trying to get undetected driver with my custom options, is there any method which can get this done?

I saw the discussions which says both not possible. is any new method there OR in Driver can i add prefs, --ignore-ssl-errors=yes & accept_insecure_certs ?

Duplicate of #1677 (comment).

The important args you mentioned are already being set. Eg:

SeleniumBase/seleniumbase/core/browser_launcher.py

Line 2210 in a353c53

chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")

SeleniumBase/seleniumbase/core/browser_launcher.py

Line 2235 in a353c53

chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-setuid-sandbox")

SeleniumBase/seleniumbase/undetected/cdp_driver/config.py

Line 140 in a353c53

"--disable-dev-shm-usage",

SeleniumBase/seleniumbase/core/browser_launcher.py

Line 2203 in a353c53

chrome_options.add_argument("--ignore-certificate-errors")

with undetected=True i want to set these:

    chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", prefs)

Brother i want to apply these experiment flags

prefs = {"download.default_directory": "downloads",
         "plugins.plugins_list": [{"enabled": False, "name": "Chrome Pdf Viewer"}],
         "plugins.always_open_pdf_externally": True,
         "profile.default_content_setting_values.automatic_downloads": 1,
         }

Here i can seeautomatic_downloads present in browser_launcher.py & always_open_pdf_externally i can use by the flag external_pdf.

"download.default_directory": my_external_dir,

But how can i pass download directory path to download.default_directory?

"plugins.plugins_list": [{"enabled": False, "name": "Chrome Pdf Viewer"}],

And how to disable the Chrome Pdf Viewer plugin, i searched plugins_list found nothing

The external_pdf=True option lets you download PDFs instead of displaying them.
The download directory cannot be changed. (It is the ./downloaded_files/ folder.)
After files are downloaded, you can move them using Python.

[Jisan00b]

Got it, Thanks.
Is there any plan for making the download directory as argument instead of hardcoded path?
It would be helpful for downloading simultaneously from multiple instances in different directory.

[mdmintz]

It's hard-coded for a reason: All contents of the ./downloaded_files folder are cleared out at the beginning of each pytest run. For safety, we won't let people set that folder to something else. People can use Python to copy files from that folder as needed.

Understandable. i'll have to fork & use for my own purpose, anyways thank you.
