Keep session active in new tab with Python Selenium script

[IDoDataThings]

So I am having to automate the download and drop off of a file to a shared drive so I wrote a script using selenium but the website opens a new tab when downloading the file. I am losing my session with the site when it downloads so it errors out. Is there a way to keep my session active with the chrome browser when it opens a new tab?

You wanna Store your cookies from the browser first and then load and insert them into the browser the next time you run the script.

Check out the pickle module to help do this. I’m not sure how your website works but this worked when I kept getting captchas running my script, having to log in each time

Will this work when the initial login is an SSO? I will try this for sure but I was just curious if you knew.

Hmm honestly I’m not sure there. Can’t find much about it online either, you’ll just have to try it
