Selenium Chrome - Translating Python Argument into AHK

[Thoughtfu1Tux]

Hello, I've been using Selenium with Chrome for a couple of years now and it has been insanely useful. A little while back Chrome was updated and now the newest version shows a "Chrome is being controlled by automated test software" notification whenever i start a new selenium instance. I found a guide on how to disable the notification in other programming languages (https://help.applitools.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007189411--Chrome-is-being-controlled-by-automated-test-software-notification), but I have not been able to figure out how to translate this into autohotkey.

Here is my template selenium code that i use in my scripts:

Code: Select all

driver:= ComObjCreate("Selenium.CHROMEDriver") ;Select and Create Chrome driver instance
;driver:= ComObjCreate("Selenium.phantomjsDriver") ;Select and Create Chrome driver instance
driver.setbinary("C:\Software\Chromium\chrome.exe")	;Sets path to custom Binary
driver.AddArgument("disable-infobars") ;Hides 'Chrome is being controlled by automated test software' message
driver.AddArgument("--start-maximized") ; Maximize Chrome Browser
driver.AddArgument("--disable-gpu")
;driver.AddArgument("--headless")
driver.Get("https://www.google.com")	;Open selected URL
driver.executeScript("return document.readyState").equals("complete") ; wait until page loads completely before proceeding
Msgbox,

Thank you very much for any help that you can offer!

@Thoughtfu1Tux, sorry for this late reply. It's late because I hadn't found SeleniumBasic 3.141.0.0 yet.
I find Selenium for AHK useful too, and although a lot of websites will detect I'm using Selenium and kick me off, for those that don't many things are just easier than they are with Chrome.ahk.
Here is some sample code for you. If you feel like trying it and run into any installation problems let me know.

Code: Select all

SetBatchLines, -1

wd := ComObjCreate("SeleniumBasic.IWebDriver")
svc := ComObjCreate("SeleniumBasic.FirefoxDriverService")
options := ComObjCreate("SeleniumBasic.FirefoxOptions")

svc.CreateDefaultService.driverPath := "C:\Downloads\WebDrivers" ; the webdrivers are here for me
svc.HideCommandPromptWindow := True


wd.New_FirefoxDriver(svc,Options)
wd.Manage.Window.Maximize
wd.URL := "https://demoqa.com/alerts"

loop {
	ready := wd.ExecuteScript("return document.readyState")
	if (ready := "complete")
		break
	else
		sleep, 1000
}
Actions.Create(wd) 

wd.FindElementById("promtButton").click

sleep, 2000
wd.SwitchTo.Alert.SendKeys("Thoughtfu1Tux") 
sleep 2000
wd.SwitchTo.Alert.Accept
sleep 4000
msgbox, ,I will dismiss myself     , AHK filled in the prompt`nand submitted it.`nFirefox shows keys sent.`nChrome does not`!, 2


sleep 3000
wd.Quit()
