Description

Documenting the selenium-wire "Wire Mode" REPLACEMENT.

As many of you know, there's a selenium-wire integration via SeleniumBase Wire Mode.

There are two main issues with it:

Here's the good news: selenium-wire features are included in the new SeleniumBase CDP Mode, (a subset of UC Mode).

Here's an example of that, (SeleniumBase/examples/cdp_mode/raw_res_sb.py), where network requests and responses are captured and displayed:

"""Using CDP.network.ResponseReceived and CDP.network.RequestWillBeSent."""
import colorama
import mycdp
import sys
from seleniumbase import SB
c1 = colorama.Fore.BLUE + colorama.Back.LIGHTYELLOW_EX
c2 = colorama.Fore.BLUE + colorama.Back.LIGHTGREEN_EX
cr = colorama.Style.RESET_ALL
if "linux" in sys.platform:
 c1 = c2 = cr = ""
async def send_handler(event: mycdp.network.RequestWillBeSent):
 r = event.request
 s = f"{r.method} {r.url}"
 for k, v in r.headers.items():
 s += f"\n\t{k} : {v}"
 print(c1 + "*** ==> RequestWillBeSent <== ***" + cr)
 print(s)
async def receive_handler(event: mycdp.network.ResponseReceived):
 print(c2 + "*** ==> ResponseReceived <== ***" + cr)
 print(event.response)
with SB(uc=True, test=True, locale_code="en") as sb:
 sb.activate_cdp_mode("about:blank")
 sb.cdp.add_handler(mycdp.network.RequestWillBeSent, send_handler)
 sb.cdp.add_handler(mycdp.network.ResponseReceived, receive_handler)
 url = "https://seleniumbase.io/apps/calculator"
 sb.cdp.open(url)
 sb.sleep(1)

Usage is different from regular Selenium-Wire, but it can do all the same things (and more) with better flexibility/control.

Here's another example, (SeleniumBase/examples/cdp_mode/raw_req_sb.py), where specific requests were filtered out (intercepted and blocked), to prevent images from loading:

"""Using CDP.fetch.RequestPaused to filter content in real-time."""
import colorama
import mycdp
import sys
from seleniumbase import SB
c1 = colorama.Fore.RED + colorama.Back.LIGHTYELLOW_EX
c2 = colorama.Fore.BLUE + colorama.Back.LIGHTCYAN_EX
cr = colorama.Style.RESET_ALL
if "linux" in sys.platform:
 c1 = c2 = cr = ""
async def request_paused_handler(event, tab):
 r = event.request
 is_image = ".png" in r.url or ".jpg" in r.url or ".gif" in r.url
 if not is_image: # Let the data through
 tab.feed_cdp(mycdp.fetch.continue_request(request_id=event.request_id))
 else: # Block the data (images)
 TIMED_OUT = mycdp.network.ErrorReason.TIMED_OUT
 s = f"{c1}BLOCKING{cr} | {c2}{r.method}{cr} | {r.url}"
 print(f" >>> ------------\n{s}")
 tab.feed_cdp(mycdp.fetch.fail_request(event.request_id, TIMED_OUT))
with SB(uc=True, test=True, locale_code="en") as sb:
 sb.activate_cdp_mode("about:blank")
 sb.cdp.add_handler(mycdp.fetch.RequestPaused, request_paused_handler)
 url = "https://gettyimages.com/photos/firefly-2003-nathan"
 sb.cdp.open(url)
 sb.sleep(5)

If people don't need the stealth features (or other improvements made to intercepting/handling network requests & responses), then they can continue using the existing Wire Mode as is. Or, if people want the upgrades, then they can use the new CDP Mode, (as shown above).
