Possible to connect to existing session?

[zodac-personal]

When using standard Selenium, it's possible to use the following code to define a URL for the browser session to run on:

driver = webdriver.Remote(
  command_executor=EXECUTOR_URL,
  options=options
)

This makes it possible for another process to hook into the Selenium browser. Is something similar possible with SeleniumBase?

@mdmintz , perhaps I misunderstood that link. It looks like that allows SeleniumBase to connect to an existing browser session?

Is it possible to do the reverse - start a browser session with SeleniumBase, then allow another process to connect to it?

You can connect to an existing browser session with SeleniumBase, but if you want something else to connect to an existing SeleniumBase session, then it's up to the API of whatever tool you're using to do the connection.

Yeah, I was doing that with standard Selenium, where I can pass in a value for command_executor. I can then use that and the session ID to connect from another tool which works fine (except for sites using Cloudflare 😄 ).

But I'm not sure how to set (or extract) the command_executor for SB, if it's even possible.

With SeleniumBase, connecting to an existing browser is done via remote_debugging_port, which is usually 9222, unless the port is already taken, or you have multiple browsers open.

Ok, I'll check that out, thanks. :)
