How to set window size in Selenium Chrome Python


A bit unclear why and exactly where you are stuck. Possibly the extra . as in height = {}px. is creating the chaos. Perhaps along with -headless argument I am able to set/retrieve the Chrome browser Window Size as follows:

  • Code Block:

    from selenium import webdriverfrom selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Optionsoptions = Options()options.add_argument("--headless")options.add_argument("window-size=1400,600")driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe', service_args=["--log-path=./Logs/DubiousDan.log"])driver.get("http://google.com/")print ("Headless Chrome Initialized")print(driver.get_window_size())driver.set_window_size(1920, 1080)size = driver.get_window_size()print("Window size: width = {}px, height = {}px".format(size["width"], size["height"]))driver.quit()
  • Console Output:

    Headless Chrome Initialized{'width': 1400, 'height': 600}Window size: width = 1920px, height = 1080px

tl; dr

You find a couple of relevant discussion on window size in:


Instead of

options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")

Can you please try this.

options.add_argument('window-size=1920x1080');

OR

options.add_argument("--start-maximized")


So I finally figured out what the problem is: Running Windows task scheduler with option 'run whether user is logged on or not' only opens a small browser (1024x768) that CANNOT be resized, even with all the great suggestions being offered here.

See the same issue resolved here: screen resolution in mode "Run whether user is logged on or not", in windows task scheduler

So the less than ideal workaround is to only run when user is logged on.

Thanks for all your help!
