弃用警告：在 Python Selenium 和 Windows 上使用 Brave 浏览器时使用选项而不是 chrome_options 错误

Question

I want to use Selenium (installed: ver 3.141.0.dist-info) on Python (3.8) which is installed on my Windows 7 64, I Use Brave Browser Version 1.17.73 Chromium: 87.0.4280.67 (Official Build) (64-bit) and

Chromedriver (chromedriver_win32-87.0.4280.20) for it, when running the following Py file which I got the code from here , new Brave browser opens up, but I get errors.

Any solution to make this works? Appreciate your help.

when running this file:

from selenium import webdriver
driver_path = 'C:/python/Python38/chromedriver.exe'
brave_path = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Application/brave.exe'
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = brave_path
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, chrome_options=option)

browser.get("https://www.google.es")

get these errors:

Edited:

I found a solution to this from another place, to add the following to the code, but I still get errors, fewer errors

option.add_argument('--disable-gpu')

I run it and got this error:

browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path,

Answer 1

The key chrome_options was deprecated sometime back. Instead you have to use options and your effective code block will be:

from selenium import webdriver

driver_path = 'C:/python/Python38/chromedriver.exe'
brave_path = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Application/brave.exe'
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
option.binary_location = brave_path
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=driver_path, options=option)

browser.get("https://www.google.es")
