Authorization is reset after opening a saved browser profile

[Pidoffka]

I encountered a problem that when using profile saving in the browser, after some time the authorization on the site crashes:

• The site itself does not reset the authorization, since in a regular browser it hangs endlessly
• There is no specific reset lag based on authorization time, i.e. this happens arbitrarily, which means that this is another argument in favor of resetting authorization after n time
• The browser is saved and activated with the following driver settings
  driver = Driver(uc=True, proxy=proxy,
user_data_dir=folderPath, multi_proxy=True)

My question: This is anomalous behavior, if the site with which I interact does not contribute to the drop of my authorization, or with my settings this is quite possible, after some time the browser may for some reason, for example, be saved incorrectly and not record some data which are needed for authorization?

Not sure exactly what you mean by "using profile saving in the browser".

If you're sharing a non UC Mode user_data_dir with UC Mode Chrome, then you'll run into issues since the two formats aren't compatible. If you set user_data_dir in UC Mode, then that dir must be created by UC Mode and only used by UC Mode.

Also, if you're running multithreaded tests, then setting a user_data_dir may lead to conflicts. You may also run into other multithreading issue if not using pytest for the multithreading.

@mdmintz If I use the UC mode, as I wrote above, then what do I need to ensure that authorization from the browser does not fail in the following scenario:

• open the browser
• log in
• save the session

Then

• open the browser
• checking authorization

So that the reset does not occur due to seleniumbase?

I mean drop authorization on the website

@Pidoffka You said "save the session". You need to be more specific.

Do you mean setting a user_data_dir, which automatically saves session data across tests that reuse that user_data_dir?

Or do you mean reusing the existing browser session via pytest --rs, which keeps the browser open for all tests?

[Pidoffka]

@mdmintz i mean user_data_dir, and after the browser session ends driver.close() driver.quit() Before logging in, I access the same profile and my authorization fails

If you need multiple profiles, set a different user_data_dir for each one that you want. Only the Default profile is supported.

If you're setting the user_data_dir while using UC Mode, then make sure you read #2118 (comment) first. (Don't mix a regular user_data_dir with one that is used by UC Mode Chrome, as the two formats are not compatible.)
