I've wrote an script that launches a chromedriver instance with an extension.
If I execute the script, chromium is opened and I can see that the extension is in use and working, but if I add the "headless" argument to the script then the extension is not working.
This is the extension: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=es
If it is properly loaded then you're movements are not recorded by Google Analytics.
So I access my own page with the chromium browser loaded by the script and I can't see the access in Google Analytics (in the real time window), but if I add the argument "headless" then I can see the access in real time (so the extension is not working).
I've seen this post: Selenium working with Chrome, but not headless Chrome
But none of the solutions from there work for me.
This is the script:
#!/usr/bin/python
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from http.cookiejar import MozillaCookieJar
import sys,re, pickle, time
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
print("Usage: getprice.py url")
sys.exit(0)
URL=sys.argv[1]
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_extension('extension2.crx')
options.add_argument('headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
time.sleep(2)
driver.get(URL)
display.stop()
#driver.close()
sys.exit(1)
Any idea on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
