Headless mode #45

Open francesco-plt opened 2 years ago

francesco-plt commented 2 years ago

Really cool project, it would be even cooler if the browser was launched in headless mode. I tried adding the headless option:

driver_options.add_argument('--headless')

at line 57, but something goes wrong:

Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="side"]//div[contains(@class,"copyable-text selectable-text")]"}
  (Session info: headless chrome=96.0.4664.110)

    Chromedriver Error. Read the above error (if any), then
    Check if installed chromedriver version is compatible with installed Chrome version.

Which is weird because the scripts as it is after being downloaded works just fine, which means that there are no compatibility issues between chromedriver and my installed Chrome version.
