Utilizing Selenium WebDriver alongside Chrome WebDriver, my script1 captures a URL from the driver.get(" ...") method and performs various tasks like web scraping (such as clicking buttons, extracting information, and logging into a website).
After completing script1, I aim to seamlessly transition to script2 without the need to go through the login process again or repeat certain steps. This way, for instance, if you logged into your Gmail account using script1 and navigated to your inbox, you could then run script2 to open each email one after another.
# script1
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://gmail.google.com/inbox/")
inbox_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id=":5a"]/div/div[2]/span/a']")
inbox_button.click()
# code execution stops here
# script2
from script1 import driver
emails = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("path to emails']").find_element_by_tag_name("button")
print('email_button: ', emails)
for email in emails:
emails.click()
My intention is to avoid opening a new instance of Chrome driver and running the entire code again. Instead, I seek a solution that can reference the existing Chrome driver.
