Open page in secret mode by specifying browser language with Selenium Python Bindings (Chrome)

"There is only a GUI via a web browser." When I was looking for ways to automate the construction of MW, I did not find it immediately when I searched for it, so I made a note.

$ pip install selenium
$ brew install chromedriver

sample.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import division, print_function, absolute_import, unicode_literals

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--incognito')  # secret mode
options.add_experimental_option('prefs', {'intl.accept_languages': 'en_US'}) # locale=en_US

# use local driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)

## use remote driver
#driver = webdriver.Remote(
#    command_executor='http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub',
#    desired_capabilities=options.to_capabilities())

driver.get("https://www.debian.org/")
assert "Debian" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("P")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("debi_fujin")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()

When executed, it looks like this.

$ python sample.py

As a point of addiction

• It does not work for pages such as www.google.com that switch languages by looking at the IP address of the connection source (it is natural ...)
• Docker image of selenium-server does not contain Japanese fonts etc.

It is around.
