import undetected_chromedriver as uc
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait

import time

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

# options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")

# options.add_argument('--enable-javascript')
# options.add_argument('--headless')
# options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
webdriver_service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
webdriver_service.start()
driver = uc.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=options)

there is such a code. After 10 launches, I started getting this error -

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot connect to chrome at 127.0.0.1:54585 from session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 121 Current browser version is 120.0.6099.227

Any thoughts pls?

Answer 1

Currently with undetected-chromedriver, you would need to update the version_main arg of uc.Chrome() every time a new version of Chrome comes out. That's not self-sustaining. Alternatively, there's https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase with UC Mode, which is basically undetected-chromedriver with some improvements, such as automatically getting a version of chromedriver that is compatible with your version of Chrome. Set uc=True to activate UC Mode in a SeleniumBase script. Here's an example:

from seleniumbase import Driver

driver = Driver(uc=True)

There's some documentation about it here: https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/issues/2213

Here's a larger script:

from seleniumbase import Driver

driver = Driver(uc=True)
driver.get("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax")
# DO MORE STUFF
driver.quit()

For customizing the reconnect time when loading a URL that has bot detection services, you could swap the get() line with something like this:

driver.uc_open_with_reconnect("https://nowsecure.nl/#relax", reconnect_time=5)

(The reconnect_time is the wait time before chromedriver reconnects with Chrome. Before the time is up, a website cannot detect Selenium, but it also means that Selenium can't yet issue commands to Chrome.)

Answer 2

fixed by adding version_main=120

webdriver_service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
webdriver_service.start()
driver = uc.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=options, version_main=120)
