How to launch google-chrome with a specific profile using selenium (python)?

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver import ChromeOptions opts = ChromeOptions() opts.arguments.append('--profile-directory=Profile 2') opts.arguments.append( '--user-data-dir=/home/user_directory/.config/google-chrome/' ) # In this case the driver is saved in the # current directory under a folder named driver driver = webdriver.Chrome( executable_path="./driver/chromedriver", options=opts) 

Selenium will throw exception InvalidArgumentException: Message: invalid argument: user data directory is already in use, please specify a unique value for --user-data-dir argument, or don't use --user-data-dir if the argument --user-data-dir is passed with a / at the end of the argument input if the directory already exits, else selenium will not throw exception.

Selenium will still throw an InvalidArgumentException
