[FIXED] How to open a already logged-in chrome browser in selenium python

Issue

I want to open a browser that is logged in to my gmail account like my default browser in selenium. Is there a way to do this?

edit:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Path") #Path to your chrome profile
w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options) 

this method does not work for me.

Solution

Chrome Options

Chrome options are very particular on how you call them. Syntax needs to be followed with perfection. Correct your below syntax errors by changing your old code:

options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Path")

To the following code:

userdatadir = 'C:/Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data'
chromeOptions.add_argument(f"--user-data-dir={userdatadir}")
