Getting Rid of chrome is being controlled by...

[ocnuybear]

Was looking for a way to get rid of "chrome is being controlled by automated test software" running chrome via chromedriver, this is a workaround by first clicking on the x, then normalizing & maximizing Chrome it disappears, depending on Chrome updates this might eventually also not work, tested on Chrome 100.0.4896.75 (Official Build) (64-bit) DARK MODE, please remember to use dark mode or you can just update the embedded bitmap.

Use the app switch.

[ocnuybear]

I have tried them all, but nothing worked, which one worked for you?

[Grovkillen]

Code: Select all

Run>"%CHROME_EXE%" --app=%URL_TO_SCRAPE%

And then I inject JS code using the console.

[ocnuybear]

Sorry I missed that part in the thread you quoted earlier, so basically you start chrome in a special way, but then you cannot attach chromedriver to it as well as using MS commands like ChromeExecute, not following how do you inject javascript using what console ?

[Grovkillen]

Yes, I open the console and paste the JS code and it'll do exactly what ChromeExecute is doing. Until we have a updated native MS ChromeDriver execution that accepts switches.

[ocnuybear]

Still trying to figure out how do you access the chromedriver console via MS, have searched the forums here, but there is just bits & pieces, do you need to install Selenium drivers?

Please give me an example how to start & send js commands to the console?

[Grovkillen]

Just use the regular chrome exe and add your JS code to the console.

[ocnuybear]

You mean Chrome's Developer Tools Console?

That means you have to communicate using ObjectSendText & OCRArea between Chrome & MS

How do you distinguish between old and new data in the console using OCR?

Isnt'n there a more direct connection to send & recieve Chrome data?

[ocnuybear]

This is what I have come up so far.
How do you start Chrome with the --app switch as well as bind the chromedriver to it to access it in the sub?

Code: Select all

RunProgram>"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app=https://www.mjtnet.com/contact.htm

Code: Select all

SRT>JS
  Let>HTTP_POSTJSON=1
  Let>body= { "script": "%ExecuteJS%", "args": [] }
  //if you are not using the standard port and have changed it with CHROMEDRIVER_PORT then change the port number here accordingly
  HTTPRequest>http://localhost:9515/session/%ExecuteJS%/execute,,POST,body,theResult
  MessageModal>theResult
End>JS

[Grovkillen]

I don't use ChromeDriver. I use either file download or window title to pass data between the chrome instance and MS.

[robsmith]

Make sure you have the required variables setup to use ChromeStart and ChromeExecute.

CHROMEDRIVEREXE=c:\path\to\chromedriver.exe
CHROMEDRIVERPORT=a valid port number
CHROMEDRIVEROPTIONS=any parameters you want to pass to chrome such as --incognito

I use the chrome builds at https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/

The -app switch gives you more screen to work with, but it does not get rid of the banner.

And after reading a long time, I decided I would not try to get rid of the 'chrome being controlled by' banner, other than by clicking the X. The other banner is clearly put there on purpose. As much as it can be annoying, it's working against the browser developers to try and remove it.

If you truly need to get rid of it, I suspect you would need to modify the chromium source and compile it yourself, or interact with the chrome developer console without using the chromedriver commands.

Much like the modern methods of javascript clipboard access are restricted for security, I think the banner is a way to deter malicious behavior.
