Questions related to ichrome_user_data

[juanfrilla]

1. Why ichrome is generating data in the ichrome_user_data folder?
2. Can it be deleted or any option to delete after every execution?
3. Is there any option to deactivate it? It takes a lot of space from the disk.

Here its a screenshot:

When the chrome process starts, it relies on a user directory to distinguish different contexts, so a directory will be created every time. In order to distinguish the process, ichrome will generate a different directory for each port number for isolation.

Back to the question you asked,

1. avoid generating user dir This cannot be done with a directory, but you can set a custom directory for storage with user_data_dir="./somedir" to replace the default home directory.
2. clear_after_shutdown=True, to auto clear user dir after shutdowning chrome daemon
3. use incognito_tab method for concurrency usage, if you use multiple ports for chrome daemons with proxies.

PS: why you use so many different port here?

Thanks @ClericPy, i'll use clear_after_shutdown=True I use different ports because I'm using different scrapy spiders at the same time (https://github.com/ClericPy/ichrome/issues/131) But I think I'm going to use a shared browser (https://github.com/ClericPy/ichrome/issues/129) to have only one opened browser and all the spiders will be conected to that browser
