Why does SeleniumBase close the browser window after it executes a command even when debugging with PDB?

Question

I have this python code which logins to gmail:

class GMAIL_LOGIN():


def __init__(self, driver):

    self.driver=driver
    self.sl=SeleniumExtended(self.driver)

def login_to_gmail(self, email, password):
    with SB(uc=True) as sb:
        sb.open("https://www.google.com/gmail/about/")
        sb.click('a[data-action="sign in"]')
        sb.type('input[type="email"]', email)
        sb.click('button:contains("Next")')
        sb.sleep(5)
        sb.type('input[type="password"]', password)
        sb.click('button:contains("Next")')



service = Service(executable_path=r"C:\Users\RoyMazin\Documents\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe")

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()


driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)


mr.login_to_gmail("example@gmail.com","Test1234!")


time.sleep(5)
pdb.set_trace()

however, after mr.login_to_gmail is executed the browser is closed immediatly. I want to execute other commands after this but am unable to.

Once your code exits the with block, the driver is closed. Put your breakpoint at the end of that like this:

def login_to_gmail(self, email, password):
    with SB(uc=True) as sb:
        sb.open("https://www.google.com/gmail/about/")
        sb.click('a[data-action="sign in"]')
        sb.type('input[type="email"]', email)
        sb.click('button:contains("Next")')
        sb.sleep(5)
        sb.type('input[type="password"]', password)
        sb.click('button:contains("Next")')
        import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

Then the breakpoint is activated when reaching the end. Type c and press Enter to continue.
