I have a python script written to load ' to redirect to a captive portal, then some implicit wait functions to wait for the login boxes and login button elements.
I know the code works because i've tried it when I'm already logged in and connected to the internet, and it successfully completes the login portal (when I manually redirect to it).
However when I first join the network and try to run the script, it hangs on loading and starting the chrome webdriver (I know this based on the traceback when I press ctrl+c). I think it may have something to do with waiting for internet or for the page to load, however I am not interested in either as I just need it to launch and wait for a few html elements.
Does anyone know what could be happening, or have any flags I could pass to the webdriver to make it ignore the status of my internet connection?
Code I'm using:
import sys import time from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException def implicit_wait_byid(driver, element): try: item = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until( EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, element)) ) return item except NoSuchElementException: sys.exit("Error loading page content. Please try again.") def implicit_wait_byname(driver, element): try: item = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until( EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, element)) ) return item except NoSuchElementException: sys.exit("Error loading page content. Please try again.") def implicit_wait_byxpath(driver, element): try: item = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until( EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, element)) ) return item except NoSuchElementException: sys.exit("Error loading page content. Please try again.") chrome_options = Options() # chrome_options.add_argument("--headless") # chrome_options.binary_location = "/usr/bin/chromedriver" # chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage") # chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox") chrome_options.page_load_strategy = 'none' driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options) # code stops here without internet, with internet it runs fine. driver.get("") implicit_wait_byname(driver, "name").send_keys("d") implicit_wait_byname(driver, "email").send_keys("[email protected]") implicit_wait_byname(driver, "auth_method").click() exit(0) Chrome version and webdriver version are 116. Python is version 3.11.3.
I've tried different flags, and changing the page loading strategy.
