Selenium Chromedriver Python - 'failed to wait for extension background page to load' when loading ModHeader extension using Tor proxy
I ran into this same error message. Downloading the latest version of chromedriver fixed it for me. (New version released 19 days ago: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads)
Try to use Seleniumwire, for example:
from seleniumwire import webdriverdef set_chrome_driver(): options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("--start-maximized") options.add_argument("--disable-infobars") options.add_argument("--no-proxy-server") driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Automation_package\chromedriver.exe') driver.get('http://172.1.1.1:5000/path/api/') driver.header_overrides = {"iv-user": "Admin", "iv-groups": "SuperAdmin", "iv-roles": "Viewers",} driver.get('http://172.1.1.1:5000/path/api/')
