Chrome From Selenium Won't Sync

I am trying to open up a selenium browser with sync option enabled. Either I specify --used-data-dir (having all the cookies and extensions from my google account loaded on seleniu

Solution 1:

I finally found a solution. So when you start chrome through selenium, even if you are not specifying the --disable-sync argument, it specifies it itself. In other words, visiting chrome://version in a newly generated selenium browser on the list of command lines there is the --disable-sync argument. So basically I first excluded it like so:

options.add_experimental_option(
    'excludeSwitches',
    ['disable-sync']) 

and then I enabled it like so:

options.add_argument('--enable-sync')

since if didn't excluded it before enabling it, both the --disable-sync and the --enable-sync would be in the command lines list.
