Refus

Ah, thank you. After figuring out the formatting for the parameters, Window.open() works great for this.

Thanks for the direction. Have another question, Which function may I use to open a new separate window in the same session? Or perhaps something to pull an existing tab into its own window. Thank you for all your efforts, Danp2.

I am looking to run chromedriver using a persistent chrome profile. I am having an issue getting my argument to pass to chromedriver I believe, because chromedriver continues to create a temp profile each session. The console reads that I have added the --user-data-dir, and I have used the following to make sure it is correct, but am having no luck yet. I am new to using Webdriver so as a starting point I am running a copy of wd_demo with only the DriverParams of SetupGoogle() changed. Func SetupChrome() _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe') _WD_Option('Port', 9515) _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--user-data-dir="C:\Users\' & @UserName & '\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"') $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}}' EndFunc It seems that my params are being ignored, as the console writes that the profile being used is still the temp one _WDStartup: OS: WIN_10 WIN32_NT 17134 _WDStartup: AutoIt: 3.3.14.2 _WDStartup: WD.au3: 0.1.0.17 _WDStartup: Driver: chromedriver.exe _WDStartup: Params: --user-data-dir="C:\Users\Jan\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data" _WDStartup: Port: 9515 __WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:9515/session; $sData={"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}} __WD_Post: StatusCode=200; ResponseText={"value":{"capabilities":{"acceptInsecureCerts":false,"browserName":"chrome","browserVersion":"71.0.3578.98","chrome":{"chromedriverVersion":"2.45.615291 (ec3682e3c9061c10f26ea9e5cdcf3c53f3f74387)","userDataDir":"C:\\Users\\Jan\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\scoped_dir11284_12516"},"goog:chromeOptions":{"debuggerAddress":"localhost:50445"},"networkConnectionEnabled":false,"pageLoadStrategy":"normal","platformName":"windows nt","proxy":{},"setWindowRect":true,"strictFileInteractability":false,"timeouts":{"implicit":0,"pageLoad":300000,"script":30000},"unhandledPromptBehavior":"dismiss and notify"},"sessionId":"ddca43a6ca34b812eab6e73a18a9d83f"}} My apologies if this is something simple. Thank you for your time. Edit: Accomplished this with $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\", "--profile-directory=Default"]}}}}'

I have been having problems loading any User profile with Chrome other than the newly generated temporary one that Webdriver creates by default. I am using a copy of the wd_demo code just as a starting point, only having edited the DriverParams section of SetupChrome() Func SetupChrome() _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe') _WD_Option('Port', 9515) _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log" --user-data-dir="C:\Users\Jan\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data"') $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}}' EndFunc Despite adding (what I believe to be)the correct usage of --user-data-dir, chromedriver launches with the new temp Chrome profile every time. Console: _WDStartup: OS: WIN_10 WIN32_NT 17134 _WDStartup: AutoIt: 3.3.14.2 _WDStartup: WD.au3: 0.1.0.17 _WDStartup: Driver: chromedriver.exe _WDStartup: Params: --user-data-dir="C:\Users\Jan\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data" _WDStartup: Port: 9515 __WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:9515/session; $sData={"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}} __WD_Post: StatusCode=200; ResponseText={"value":{"capabilities":{"acceptInsecureCerts":false,"browserName":"chrome","browserVersion":"71.0.3578.98","chrome":{"chromedriverVersion":"2.45.615291 (ec3682e3c9061c10f26ea9e5cdcf3c53f3f74387)","userDataDir":"C:\\Users\\Jan\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\scoped_dir3068_9340"},"goog:chromeOptions":{"debuggerAddress":"localhost:64107"},"networkConnectionEnabled":false,"pageLoadStrategy":"normal","platformName":"windows nt","proxy":{},"setWindowRect":true,"strictFileInteractability":false,"timeouts":{"implicit":0,"pageLoad":300000,"script":30000},"unhandledPromptBehavior":"dismiss and notify"},"sessionId":"c2ecb7bc400269fa73565ab43480120d"}} _WD_CreateSession: {"value":{"capabilities":{"acceptInsecureCerts":false,"browserName":"chrome","browserVersion":"71.0.3578.98","chrome":{"chromedriverVersion":"2.45.615291 (ec3682e3c9061c10f26ea9e5cdcf3c53f3f74387)","userDataDir":"C:\\Users\\Jan\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\scoped_dir3068_9340"},"goog:chromeOptions":{"debuggerAddress":"localhost:64107"},"networkConnectionEnabled":false,"pageLoadStrategy":"normal","platformName":"windows nt","proxy":{},"setWindowRect":true,"strictFileInteractability":false,"timeouts":{"implicit":0,"pageLoad":300000,"script":30000},"unhandledPromptBehavior":"dismiss and notify"},"sessionId":"c2ecb7bc400269fa73565ab43480120d"}} I can see the temporary profile, but am unsure how to enforce that my -user-data-dir is followed. What am I missing? Thank you for your time.
