How to open chrome default profile with selenium?



We can open Chrome default profile with Selenium. To get the Chrome profile path, we need to input chrome://version/ in the Chrome browser and then press enter.

We need to use the ChromeOptions class to open the default Chrome profile. We need to use the add_argument method to specify the path of the Chrome profile.

Syntax

o = webdriver.ChromeOptions() o.add_argument = {'user-data-dir':'/Users/Application/Chrome/Default'}

Example

Code Implementation

from selenium import webdriver #object of ChromeOptions class o = webdriver.ChromeOptions() #adding Chrome Profile Path o.add_argument = {'user-data-dir':'/Users/Application/Chrome/Default'} #set chromedriver.exe path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe", options=o) #maximize browser driver.maximize_window() #launch URL driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm") #get browser title print(driver.title) #quit browser driver.quit()
