There are some useful command line flags to perform common tasks. In some cases, you may not need to programmatically script Headless Chrome. If you're on the stable channel of Chrome and cannot get the Beta, I recommend using chrome-canary: alias chrome = "/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome"Īlias chrome-canary = "/Applications/Google\ Chrome\ Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome\ Canary"Īlias chromium = "/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium"ĭownload Chrome Canary here. Since I'm on Mac, I created convenient aliases for each version of Chrome that I have installed. The exact location will vary from platform to platform. See /737678.Ĭhrome should point to your installation of Chrome.

When evaluating open source packages, I look at 1) overall code quality, 2) maintenance, 3) # professional programmers who depend on it, 4) # maintainers, 5) related or derived dependent packages, 6) documentation and usage examples available now, 7) whether there are conda and pip versions available, and 8) any other factors or "issues" that indicate product maturity or quality of support (or lack thereof). I need something to build into my libraries, because chromedriver's intentional monthly obsolescence is such a maintenance nightmare. I did a quick comparison of the three different "auto-update" python packages mentioned on this page to see which package(s) will be worth investing my time to use for my applications.
