QUICK TEST FOR UNDETECTED-CHROMEDRIVER TO CHECK IF CLOUDFLARE IAUAM CAN BE PASSED
To make it as clean as possible without interfering packages or plugins:
- this creates a new python virtual environment
- installs undetected chromedriver
- executes a test
- cleans up the virtual environment
simplify specifying a custom user_data_dir by passing it directly to the constructor.
however if a user_data_dir is specified in the options object, the one in options will take precedence.
-----------
this version is for test purposes only and contains breaking changes
-----------
- v2 is now the "main/default" module. usage:
import undetected_chromedriver as uc
driver = uc.Chrome()
driver.get('https://nowsecure.nl')
- The above is the README for this version. or use the regular instructions, but
skip the `with` black magic and skip references to v2.
- v1 moved to _compat for now.
- fixed wrong dependancies
- ~~~~ added "new" anti-detection mechanic ~~~~
- the above ^^ makes all recent changes and additions obsolete
- Removed ChromeOptions black magic to fix compatiblity issues
- restored .get() to (near) original.
- most changes from 3.0.4 to 3.0.6 are obsolete, as t
- no `with` statements needed anymore, although it will still
work for the sake of backward-compatibility.
- no sleeps, stop-start-sessions, delays, or async cdp black magic!
- this will solve a lot of other "issues" as well.
- test success to date: 100%
- just to mention it another time, since some people have hard time reading:
headless is still WIP. Raising issues is needless
