Google chrome closes immediately after being launched with selenium

Question

I am on Mac OS X using selenium with python 3.6.3.

This code runs fine, opens google chrome and chrome stays open.:

chrome_options = Options()
chrome         


        

Answer 1

This is somewhat old, but the answers on here didn't solve the issue. A little googling got me here

http://chromedriver.chromium.org/getting-started

The test code here uses sleep to keep the browser open. I'm not sure if there are better options, so I will update this as I learn.

import time
from selenium import webdriver

    driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver')  # Optional argument, if not specified will search path.
    driver.get('http://www.google.com/xhtml');
    time.sleep(5) # Let the user actually see something!
    search_box = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
    search_box.send_keys('ChromeDriver')
    search_box.submit()
    time.sleep(5) # Let the user actually see something!
    driver.quit()
