Freezes on ChromeOS when loading Driver

[twv123]

Saw similar issue 323, but the fix did not work. Understand it is not supported on ChromeOS, but would really like to get working as it seems(wishful thinking) like should be minor tweaks of Linux --

Sample never gets to 'Driver loaded.':

Code:

from seleniumbase import Driver

print('starting...')

driver = Driver(uc=True)
print('Driver loaded.')

Path:

chromedriver appears to be in the $PATH as well....?

Any thoughts appreciated - would love to use SeleniumBase to simplify things.

Thanks.

Similar to https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/issues/323#issuecomment-488065275 ? That user was running in a special crostini shell, and so chromium had to be installed separately.

If that's not your issue, you really need to provide a stack trace so that this is actually debuggable. Also, I would need to know if regular mode works for you without UC Mode. It's highly unlikely that UC Mode will work on ChromeOS unless it's already supported.

Thank you for quick response. Yes, works in Driver(headed=True), not with uc=True. It checks if I am human automatically, then fails and gives checkbox, which still fails after manually checking box... meh.

Not sure if this trace helps, but sounds like I may need to try another solution to get around the Cloudflare "Veryfing you are human" - your solution was the most elegant....
