6 years ago Hi leonteale, I have never written a github comment before and probably aren't super qualified but I just happened to be passing by here to try out the script and I think I can help! I happen to be working on a personal project that uses selenium & chromedriver so I have a bit of experience with it.
To add options to the chromedriver, find the line (currently line 56) in chat.py:
driver_options.add_argument("user-data-dir={0}".format(chrome_data_dir_directory))
add a new line below that says
driver_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
make sure it's ABOVE the line:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(config['chromedriver_path'], chrome_options=driver_options)
as this is there the options are passed to the chromedriver.
I tested this on my machine and it threw no errors, but I'm unable to test the efficacy of adding the argument. I'm not sure if the preceding -- is required when passing in arguments this way (I don't think it matters either way as I think it's smart enough to interpret with or without) but if it doesn't work for you, maybe try again without the dashes ie
driver_options.add_argument("no-sandbox")
Hope this helps!

Where in the code woudl I need to edit so that when it tries to launch chrome it adds "--no-sandbox"
this is my error:
Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Driver info: chromedriver=2.35.528139 (47ead77cb35ad2a9a83248b292151462a66cd881),platform=Linux 4.14.0-kali3-amd64 x86_64)
But chrome will not run if I am root (using kali) and it needs the "--no-sandbox"
e.g.
google-chrome --no-sandbox
Please do not suggest not running as root, I am pentesting and often use kali as root.
Thanks.
