Selenium cannot enable javascript in python

Question

how do I enable javascript in selenium using python? I tried several methods but mine isnt working. Does anyone know how could i fix this issue? Thanks

My code

from selenium import webdriver import urllib import urllib.request import string from bs4 import BeautifulSoup import mysql.connector import time chrome_path = r"C:\chromedriver.exe" driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path) driver.add_argument("--enable-javascript")

Error i got

Exception has occurred: AttributeError 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'add_argument' File "C:\Users\bustillo-ronald\Desktop\python-basics\Scrape\propertyguru.py", line 11, in <module> driver.add_argument("--enable-javascript")

You need to create an instance of a ChromeOptions object first and add_argument to that. Then pass the options object as an argument to the Chrome webdriver.

something like this

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("--enable-javascript") # Now back to your code driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path, options=options) ...

i already did like this sir from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options opt = webdriver.ChromeOptions() opt.add_argument("--enable-javascript") chrome_path = r"C:\chromedriver.exe" driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path,chrome_options=opt) But the site that i want to scrape doesnt let me to access because javascript is disabled

What happens if you run this: driver.get("https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/is-javascript-enabled") assert(driver.find_element_by_id("detected_value").text=="Yes")
