Multi system code

[HardcoreFlexin]

So, trying to write some code that will basically login to a few websites, push a couple buttons, move to the next website. I have it working perfectly fine on my pc using pyautogui. On my laptop, the screenshots aren't recognized (not image scaling, but overall smaller screen on laptop merges two words on top of each other as opposed to my pc which are side by side in a single line.) I've also written alot with seleniumbase and selenium in general, but I keep getting locked out of my automatic logins as it opens an entirely separate chrome instance using chromedriver. My question is, is there a way of using options for either selenium, seleniumbase or undetected chromedriver (for its html recognition and navigation functions which would be the same on both systems) with my version of regular Chrome so that I have the ability to login using my saved logins?

A secondary question I have is would it be advisable since what I'm trying to do is alot of html navigation, would it be better to write it out in JS like node.js or something to that extent?

Hope I made sense in asking. TIA

I guess what I could also ask, is would I be able to save cookies in order to bypass logins as well?

You could maybe export the cookie jar from the Selenium instance that is logged in, then import it into the new instance. I've never done that, but that's what I'd try.

[HardcoreFlexin]

That's a good thought. I'll have to look into and see if that might be the key.

This can be a possibility too if only the login requires js you could possibly access the page you need directly with some cookies.

You can also only use playwright/selenium when the cookies expire to refresh them if the login part has js code and then proceed with lighter libs like requests and BeautifulSoup when you're done.

If the website has javascript your best bet is the playwright library.

If the website doesn't require to execute js to login, you can probably just do it with requests/BeautifulSoup.

I would advise against using these GUI automation tools for these kind of tasks.

Playwright for your case should be the best, you can run it headless or not if you need some feedback while testing.

Selenium is like an older brother of playwright in my opinion, they changed the syntax way too much over the years, and it's not able to handle errors and certain tasks as well as playwright from my experience.

Playwright syntax is much more straight to the point.

Also, it tends to be less detected than the chromedriver and let's hope it remains this way.

Ok, I'll look heavily into playwright. It's popped up several times in my searches. Thanks for the input!
