[🐛 Bug]: Selenium-manager.exe console window briefly popping up #12427
Description
Selenium-manager.exe console window briefly popping up
When you build the script below into an executable using Pyinstaller by running pyinstaller --windowed my_script.py a console window named selenium-manager.exe briefly pops up. This only occurs if you run the executable and not the script as a python file, I'm assuming this cause there's already a console window so windows doesn't create a new one.
I've narrowed it down to the following method selenium.webdriver.common.selenium_manager.SeleniumManager.run. I believe this is caused by the call to subprocess.run which on windows if made without the flagcreationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NO_WINDOW a console window is created if one is unavailable.
Possible fix:
if sys.platform == "win32":
completed_proc = subprocess.run(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NO_WINDOW)
else:
completed_proc = subprocess.run(args, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
For the code below run: pyinstaller --windowed my_script.py
from subprocess import CREATE_NO_WINDOW
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome, ChromeOptions
def setup_options(options: ChromeOptions) -> ChromeOptions :
options.add_argument('--headless=new')
options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
options.add_argument('--disable-infobars')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
return options
def setup_driver() -> Chrome:
service_chrome = Service()
service_chrome.creation_flags = CREATE_NO_WINDOW
options = setup_options(ChromeOptions())
return Chrome(service=service_chrome, options=options)
driver = setup_driver()
