"I do not think it means what you think it means". A profile is based around a user, so you might have multiple profiles if you, your mom, and your dad all use the browser. You can have multiple of these running, but I think it's (usually) silly to use them. Edit: in your script... elsewhere makes sense.

You can have multiple instances (called a session) of the browser running. This is like right clicking your browser and selecting "New Window". To do this, simply call _WD_CreateSession twice in a script, or once in two scripts. Be wary of calling _WD_Shutdown if they use the same driver instance (probably called a process?), however, because this can cause all sessions running with that process to be closed.

Finally, check out the WebDriver wiki: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/WebDriver. Great stuff there and will answer a bunch of questions you have!

I think that is not what I am looking for. For instance, I want to open 2 separate profiles with 2 distinct twitter accounts, and make them like and retweet. So If I open new window, that would not happen as I intend to do. I am looking for a solution to deal with this, I tried to run program twice to see how it go but when I did that, chromedriver went off.

@ThePoroYou can use the following command to prevent the automatic closure of an existing webdriver console when calling _WD_Startup() --

_WD_Option('driverclose', False)

Yes I saw your comment on the other thread and it doesn't turn off anymore, but problem right now is the program works just fine if I don't use an existing user profile (worked ok with default $sDesiredCapabilities in wd_demo).

For example, I use profile 1 and run it first with this 

$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\", "--profile-directory=Profile 1"], }}}}'

It runs well with this, but If I run 1 more time with another Profile (Profile 2). This happens in chromedriver console

Opening in existing browser session.

and This in autoit console

_WD_Startup: Existing instance of chromedriver.exe detected!
__WD_Post: URL=HTTP://127.0.0.1:9515/session; $sData={"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args":["--user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\PoRo\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\", "--profile-directory=Profile 2"], "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"]}}}}

This message seems pretty clear to me. You'll need to use a different "--user-data-dir" value for each instance.

So this means I have to move my profiles to other place before running it. Even those profiles are located in distinct folder? 

C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Profile 1
C:\\Users\\' & @UserName & '\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Profile 2

This seems not right to me because those profiles are always created and stored in (*\\Chrome\\User Data) and now I want to use both of them in the same time, I have to move 1 of them to other place.

Seems that way. <shrug>

Maybe someone else will have some ideas on how you could fix this. Or you could possibly find the solution by searching the web for answers.

Hi @Danp2,

Just a quick question.
What is the fastest way to open a Chrome Window (let's say google.com) without bar's and stuf (just like a popup or the APP function in Chrome).

At the moment i am using the nasty way to open a session, then minimize that session and open a new tab as floating window.
But it seems a little bit 'nasty' using _WD_NewTab and _WD_Window (rect) to get the popup.

isn't there something like; create session in APP or POPUP format?

 

Thanks!

[Danp2]

@BluemanIDK and don't have time to research ATM. Have you tried Googling for a solution?

[Danp2]

@TungNhoc This is the 2nd time you've posted this question to the wrong thread. The first time one of the nice Admins moved it for me to the correct thread. Please post any future questions on the UDF to the thread in General Help & Support (link is in my sig).

P.S. I don't know the answer to your question. You may want to start a new thread in GH&S section where you can provide further details, what you've tried thus far, etc.

Is there a way - function or command to get source code of currently displayed web page directly from browser?

Hmm, yes i tried but couldn't find something about it, sadly.

So i thought, i will ask the all-knowing Danp2

[seadoggie01]

@Blueman You can try adding --app="<full url including https://>" as a command-line argument. It works from the command-line, but I'm too lazy to try with WebDriver rn

without more detailed information, only this answer can be given

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, ......
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'click')
