No such file or directory: '/content/chromedriver_linux64.zip'> when trying to use UC mode on MacOS

[nradosevic]

Describe the bug I am getting an error 'No such file or directory: '/content/chromedriver_linux64.zip'>' when trying to use UC mode on MacOS

To Reproduce Try to run the example code using UC=True (tested on MacOS)

python-code

from selenium_profiles.driver import driver as mydriver
from selenium_profiles.profiles import profiles
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By  # locate elements

mydriver = mydriver()
driver = mydriver.start(profiles.Windows(), uc_driver=True)  # or .Android

# get url
driver.get('https://browserleaks.com/client-hints')  # test client hints

input("Press ENTER to exit: ")
driver.quit()  # Execute on the End!

**Expected behavior or error-message**
Browser should start opening a desired website

Environment (please complete the following information): MacOS Monterey

EDIT: It seems that the above error appears if you actaully tried running with UC flag set to false first and then changing to true. However, when you try to run the code with UC flag set to true from the beggining you face a different error:

Mhh from urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/content/chromedriver_linux64.zip'> it seemed to me like it's an issue with undetected-chromedriver itsself, but UserWarning: Patching undetected-chromedriver in non-google-colab hint me to a bug in my code.

The "patch for google-colab" modified some code of undetected-chromedriver at selenium_profiles/utils/colab_utils.py#L67. The function was executed at selenium_profiles/driver.py#L53-L61

I wonder what happens, if:

1. You reinstall undetected-chromedriver (pip unistall undetected-chromedriver -y; pip install undetected-chromedriver) and then start with uc_driver=True
2. You reinstall undetected-chromedriver, and then directly run it with:

   
   import undetected_chromedriver as uc
   driver = uc.Chrome(use_subprocess=True,  keep_alive=True)

get url

driver.get('https://browserleaks.com/client-hints') # test client hints

input("Press ENTER to exit: ") driver.quit() # Execute on the End!

to confirm it isn't a issue with uc

Unfortanely, I dont't have a mac device aviable, but I anyways need to update some code for google-colab (which hopefully then resolves that issue).

The problem is indeed in the modified patcher.py from undetected chromedriver

After I replaced this line: return urlretrieve('file:///content/chromedriver_linux64.zip', '/tmp/chromedriver_linux64.zip')[0]

whith this one: return urlretrieve(u)[0]

everything worked as it's supposed to

Great, see the issue. I'll correct that in some time..

For now, I think if you allready have undeteced-chromedriver installed, Selenium-Profiles doesn't ever tries to patch automatically. ==> workaround

[nradosevic]

Thanks. That should do it for now. Better then manually fixing undetected chromedriver each time

https://github.com/kaliiiiiiiiii/Selenium-Profiles/commit/487e32aaa54a075d76c3368fe71c429511b7d099 should fix it.
