open specific chrome profile using playwright python

Question

I'm trying to open a specific chrome profile using playwright python using the following code

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    # browser = p.chromium.launch(headless= False, slow_mo= 100000)
    dir_path = r"C:\\Users\\{user}\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Profile 7"
    print("path :", dir_path)
    browser = p.chromium.launch_persistent_context(channel="chrome", slow_mo= 100000, user_data_dir= dir_path, headless=False)
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://www.example.com/login")

but it only opens profile 1. I also want to make the automation undetectable if possible.

Answer 1

try this

user_data_dir = r"C:\\Users\\{user}\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data"
args = ["--profile-directory=Profile 7"]

with sync_playwright() as p:
    # Launch Chrome with the specified profile
    browser = p.chromium.launch_persistent_context(
        user_data_dir=user_data_dir,  # Base directory
        channel='chrome',            # Use Chrome browser
        args=args,                   # Specify the profile directory
        headless=False               # Headful mode for debugging
    )

And make sure the Chrome app is closed (with no tabs open) before running.
