I’m using a headless Chrome WebDriver in Python by adding this option:
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
Then, I initialize the browser like this:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=os.path.abspath("chromedriver"), options=chrome_options)
Can I make the browser window visible after a certain condition is fulfilled? I attempted to remove the headless option later using:
chrome_options.arguments.remove("--headless")
However, it hasn’t worked as I expected.
Hey Alex, once the driver is created with the headless option, you can't switch it to a visible state dynamically. You’ll need to initialize a new browser instance without the headless option.
For example:
# Initialize without the headless argument for visibility
chrome_options.arguments.remove('--headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=os.path.abspath('chromedriver'), options=chrome_options)
To handle your condition, you might have to close the headless one and open a new visible session.
