Undetectedchromedriver not open

Question

Why it isnt working

from selenium import webdriver
import undetected_chromedriver as uc

if __name__ =='__main__':
    options = uc.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_argument("--headless")
    driver = uc.Chrome(options=options)
    driver.get('https://nowsecure.nl')
    driver.save_screenshot('nowsecure.png')

The code executes and the screenshot is taken and saved but de webpage window doesn't open, even taking out the screenshot code line the webpage doesn't open so i can use it.

Answer 1

Comment this line:

# options.add_argument("--headless")   

Answer 2

I solved the problem adding setting headless by another way and the closing using timesleep

import undetected_chromedriver as uc
import time


options = uc.ChromeOptions()
options.headless = False
driver = uc.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("https://nowsecure.nl")
time.sleep(100)

Answer 3

I think there is a problem with running headless using undetected chromedriver. You can take a look at this SO.

• As an alternative use seleniumbase:

from seleniumbase import Driver # pip install seleniumbase
import time

driver = Driver(uc=True)
driver.get('https://nowsecure.nl')
time.sleep(6)
driver.quit()
