add option start_session

[milahu]

allow to defer the actual start of chromium

the context manager webdriver.Chrome is useful to ensure cleanup but it can be too limiting when the app later decides that it does not need chromium

async def main():

    chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

    args = dict(
        options=chrome_options,
        start_session=False,
    )

    async with webdriver.Chrome(**args) as driver:

        actually_need_chromium = False
        if not actually_need_chromium:
            return

        # actually start chromium
        await driver.start_session()

        await driver.get('http://nowsecure.nl#relax')

but why'd someone want that for lol?

Why not use the following?

async def main():

    chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

    args = dict(
        options=chrome_options,
    )

    actually_need_chromium = False
    if not actually_need_chromium:
        return

    async with webdriver.Chrome(**args) as driver:
        await driver.get('http://nowsecure.nl#relax')

yepp, nevermind

i had the wrong impression that some other selenium library requires explicit driver.start_session() which gives me more freedom in the sequence of commands

but no...

• selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver.WebDriver
  • self.start_session(capabilities)
• undetectedchromedriver.Chrome.\_init__
  • browser = subprocess.Popen
  • super(Chrome, self).__init__

haha well then nvm:)
