Exactly what the title says. When ran, Chrome does in fact open, but does not continue on because unable to connect. Prints
opening chrome (mac)
opened chrome

Stacktrace:
When I run chromedriver in terminal it successfully starts and returns
Starting ChromeDriver 110.0.5481.77 () on port 9515
Only local connections are allowed.
Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe.
ChromeDriver was started successfully.
Current version of Chrome is 110.0.5481.100
Code is as follows
def open_chrome(port=9515, on_mac=True):
my_env = os.environ.copy()
if on_mac:
print('opening chrome (Mac)')
subprocess.Popen(['open', '-a', "Google Chrome", "--args",
f'--remote-debugging-port={port}', 'http://www.example.com']) # , env=venv)
else:
print('opening chrome (Linux)')
subprocess.Popen(
f'google-chrome --remote-debugging-port={port} --user-data-dir=data_dir'.split(), env=venv)
print('opened chrome')
class Bot():
def __init__(self, port_no=9515, headless=False, verbose=False):
print('initialising bot')
options = Options()
if headless:
options.add_arguments("--headless")
else:
open_chrome()
# attatch to the same port that you're running chrome on
options.add_experimental_option(
f"debuggerAddress", f"127.0.0.1:{port_no}")
# without this, the chrome webdriver can't start (SECURITY RISK)

self.verbose = verbose
echo $PATH returns
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
Most of the stuff I can find on similar problems suggest PATH issue but because running chromedriver is successful I don't think it's PATH problem? But also not sure since I don't see it in $PATH...
