Undetected chromedriver

Question

I tried launching youtube using undetected chromedriver with this code:

import undetected_chromedriver as uc


if __name__ == "__main__":
    driver = uc.Chrome(headless=True)
    driver.get("https://youtube.com")

But got this error:

Exception ignored in: <function Chrome.__del__ at 0x00000271674DBEC0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\undetected_chromedriver\__init__.py", line 843, in __del__
  File "C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\undetected_chromedriver\__init__.py", line 798, in quit   
OSError: [WinError 6] The handle is invalid

Is there any way to fix this?

Answer 1

This seems to be a bug with undetected_chromedriver module itself. I see an Open PR for fixing this issue.

If you want to get around this sooner, you can probably modify the init file add a try-except block around time.sleep(0.1) similar to what's done in this commit

C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\undetected_chromedriver\__init__.py

try:
    time.sleep(0.1)
except OSError:
    pass

I noticed that the latest version of selenium is causing issues for undetected_chromedriver, try to install older version of selenium
