i am using selenium C#, i am trying to disable the pop up of "crashed" chrome:
i tried to set the profile preferences, but its seems that the it ain't changing at all, the code:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddUserProfilePreference("exit_type", "Normal");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("exited_cleanly", "true");
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
i tried to change the value of exit type to none & None, but without any change at the preferences document.
I'm using C# and I've noticed that chrome driver can be closed propery only when we use Close() method followed by Quit() in finally block. No special options required. I think in java it's the same way. This will help to rid of "Restore pages" while launching chrome with the driver
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument(Configure.chromeProfileDir);
options.AddArgument(Configure.chromePath);
ChromeDriver d = null;
try
{
d = new ChromeDriver(options);
d.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://google.com");
// Your operations...
}
catch(Exception e)
{
// Handle your exceptions...
}
finally
{
try
{
d.Close();
d.Quit();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
}
I tested the Answer given by #Icy, and it worked for me. what I used was :
prefs = {'exit_type': 'Normal'}
option.add_experimental_option("prefs", {'profile': prefs})
and it is spoken of by https://superuser.com/a/1343331, only issue is with the method listed there, you will need to edit the file manually every time, so this works way better, tested in may 2021. Just couldn't upvote the answer as I have no reputation yet, and it is the last.
Use below code to handle this pop up:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.AddArguments("--disable-application-cache");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
i tried this code in java, it solved my problem :))
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("user-data-dir="+profilepath);
options.addArguments("--no-startup-window");
// argument "--no-startup-window" make chrome is failed to start -> selenium will quit chrome normaly
//-> start chrome again, it won't show restore page
try {
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
}catch(Exception ex){
}
options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("user-data-dir="+profilepath);
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Try this code:
prefs = {'exit_type': 'Normal'}
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs", {'profile': prefs})

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

options.AddArgument("--headless");
string downloadPath = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERPROFILE") + "\\Downloads";

For some reason I cannot download files in chrome when running headless in Selenium -
When not running in headless mode there is no issue downloading files.
Selenium Webdriver Chromedriver V110.0.5
According to Selenium dev page: https://www.selenium.dev/blog/2023/headless-is-going-away/
you need to user "--headless=new" from now.
However, I'm still struggling with downloading files, even using this new attribute
My use case was a bit different. However, the below code gave me the intended results.
Refer to the below code :
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.default_directory", #"C:\Downloads");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("download.prompt_for_download", false);
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://example.com/download-file");
IWebElement downloadLink = driver.FindElement(By.Id("download-link"));
downloadLink.Click();
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(4000); // wait for awhile for 4 seconds
driver.Close();
I am using Windows 10 with IE11 on selenium XUNIT test. Selenium doesn't click at a desired IE element. Can someone suggest a solution please?
We had similar problem back in the day when the change the webdriver for IE, whit this code I can run it only in some computers, because in another's we have a lost of comunication between IE and the driver/code due another problem.
public static IWebDriver ExplorerDriverSetUp()
{
var options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.RequireWindowFocus = false;
options.IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings = true;
options.IgnoreZoomLevel = true;
options.EnsureCleanSession = true;
options.InitialBrowserUrl = URL;
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
return driver;
}
I am using following nuget packages in my solution
Selenium.WebDriver - v3.141.0
Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver - v79.0.3945.3600
using following code I am creating a Chrome driver instance
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
//Get Performance Logs from Network tab
ChromePerformanceLoggingPreferences perfLogPrefs = new ChromePerformanceLoggingPreferences();
options.PerformanceLoggingPreferences = perfLogPrefs;
options.SetLoggingPreference("performance", LogLevel.All);
(or)
ChromePerformanceLoggingPreferences perfLogPrefs = new
ChromePerformanceLoggingPreferences();
perfLogPrefs.AddTracingCategories(new string[] { "devtools.timeline" });
options.PerformanceLoggingPreferences = perfLogPrefs;
options.SetLoggingPreference("goog:loggingPrefs", LogLevel.All);
options.AddAdditionalCapability(CapabilityType.EnableProfiling, true, true);
and combining with this
options.AddUserProfilePreference("intl.accept_languages", "en-US");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true");
options.AddArgument("test-type");
options.AddArgument("--disable-gpu");
options.AddArgument("no-sandbox");
options.AddArgument("start-maximized");
options.LeaveBrowserRunning = true;
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
but while creating Chrome driver instance, I am getting following error message
invalid argument: entry 0 of 'firstMatch' is invalid
from invalid argument: perfLoggingPrefs specified, but performance logging was not enabled
May I know what changes do I need to make please to get the performance logs with latest version of Chrome and Selenium driver
I am able to retrieve Performance Logs using the below code when I was using lower versions of Chrome driver (2.35.0)
var logs = driver.Manage().Logs.GetLog("performance");
for (int i = 0; i < logs.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(logs[i].Message);
}
With Selenium WebDriver (v4.0.0-alpha04) and Selenium.Chrome.WebDriver (v79.0.0) and using the following code, I am able to retrieve the performance logs.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
//Following Logging preference helps in enabling the performance logs
options.SetLoggingPreference("performance", LogLevel.All);
//Based on your need you can change the following options
options.AddUserProfilePreference("intl.accept_languages", "en-US");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("disable-popup-blocking", "true");
options.AddArgument("test-type");
options.AddArgument("--disable-gpu");
options.AddArgument("no-sandbox");
options.AddArgument("start-maximized");
options.LeaveBrowserRunning = true;
//Creating Chrome driver instance
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
//Extracting the performance logs
var logs = driver.Manage().Logs.GetLog("performance");
for (int i = 0; i < logs.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(logs[i].Message);
}
Hope this helps.
All these days, I was using the following two lines with latest versions of Selenium WebDriver and Chrome Driver and couldn't figure out what the issue was and now with the latest versions, the following two lines of code is not required.
var perfLogPrefs = new ChromePerformanceLoggingPreferences();
options.PerformanceLoggingPreferences = perfLogPrefs;
So I am creating a bot with chrome headless browser and it works just fine. I had quite a lot warnings so I disabled them after reasearch with those commands:
ChromeOptions option = new ChromeOptions();
option.AddArgument("--headless");
option.AddArgument("--silent");
option.AddArgument("--disable-gpu");
option.AddArgument("--log-level=3");
ChromeDriverService service = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
service.SuppressInitialDiagnosticInformation = true;
_driver = new ChromeDriver(service, option);
But there is one more message showing when programs starts:
DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:12015/devtools/browser/6b70a3c5-56c8-4c90-952a-d0e0ef254ddf
Any idea how to disable it from showing?
If you are trying to fix Selenium with Python on Windows, type:
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument('headless')
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])
browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
with the experimental_option line being the special sauce.
That did the trick
var service = ChromeDriverService.CreateDefaultService();
service.HideCommandPromptWindow = true;
Driver = new ChromeDriver(service, options);
Add following two options .
option.AddArgument("--disable-extensions");
option.AddArgument("test-type");
Have gone through previous post, but the error I am facing is different.
Trying to open chrome through webdriver using C#.
namespace HelloWorld
{
public class OurFirstTest
{
static void main(String[] args)
{
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(#"D:\Automation\chromedriver");
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");
}
}
}
During build, command prompt opens with message
Starting ChromeDriver <v2.9.248315> on port 9515.
Browser is not opening....
I Edited my code and you can follow it now, I am using this code to run chrome instance in incognito mode.
IWebDriver driver1;
ChromeOptions m_Options = new ChromeOptions();
m_Options.AddArgument("--user-data-dir=C:/Users/dell/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Profile 2");
m_Options.AddArgument("--disable-extensions");
m_Options.AddArgument("--silent");
m_Options.AddArgument("--incognito");
//Adding a Proxy
Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.HttpProxy = "XXXX.XXX.X.X:XXXX";
m_Options.Proxy = proxy;
driver1 = new ChromeDriver(#"F:\\ChromeDriver\", m_Options);
driver1.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com");
Make sure you set up the right path for driver.
You'd better put your chromediver in the same directory with your test's exe file.
And update your chromedriver to the latest version which is 2.10
