Selenium headless not working with custom profile selection
I was able to your code to run with the following option added.
options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=45447')Without it the code was hanging for around a minute before the following error was thrown:
WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't existComment excerpt which pointed me to a solution:
When you send --remote-debugging-port=0 to Chrome, devtools chooses its own port and writes it to chrome::DIR_USER_DATA as a file named "DevToolsActivePort".
Basically once the port is set to something other than the default of 0 the DevToolsActivePort file does not need to be checked. The full comment and bug are here: chromedriver bug
Hope this helps!
I solved this error by closing the command prompt and reopening it in administrator mode (right-click on the cmd.exe and click Run as administrator).
Nothing else worked.
