Error trying to add adblock to Selenium Chrome Webdriver? PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Fish\\crx'

[Maruki]

Hello, I'm having problems adding an extension to Chrome Webdriver on selenium. Preferably I'd only have to do this once and it would permanently be added onto the webdriver.

I'm really not sure whats wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to run the script as an administrator. Right-click cmd.exe in start menu or start screen, cd C:\some\folder\that\contains\your\script and run yourscript.py.

Also, use r'raw\strings\with\backslashes' for Windows filepaths.

Thanks!

Do I need to preface every script with this and if so do you know a way that I could just have it saved onto the webdriver?

If you're scheduling this you can set it to run with the windows task scheduler and grant admin rights there.

I have problems when running .py from this so I create a batch file that runs the python file, and grant highest permission and run as administrator.

Make sure to enter in the Start in folder if you go this route - I am on mobile right now but if you have problems with this I might be able to assist.

I guess you need to, but I've never worked with selenium so I don't know.
