Automated Login Script

This Python script automates the login process for a website using Selenium WebDriver with Chrome in headless mode. The script reads credentials and URLs from environment variables and schedules the login process to run every 24 hours.

Features

• Headless Browser: Runs Chrome in headless mode suitable for server environments.
• Environment Variables: Stores sensitive data (URLs, credentials) in a .env file.
• Scheduled Execution: Uses the schedule library to run the login task every 24 hours.
• Logging: Logs important actions and errors to a file.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10
• Python libraries in requirements.txt
• Chrome browser version 126.0.6478.182
• ChromeDriver version 126.0.6478.182

Install Dependencies

Ensure you have Chrome and ChromeDriver installed.

# Install Google Chrome (version 126.0.6478.182)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y wget
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_126.0.6478.182-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_126.0.6478.182-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -f
sudo apt-mark hold google-chrome-stable

# Install ChromeDriver (version 126.0.6478.182)
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public/126.0.6478.182/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zip
unzip chromedriver-linux64.zip
sudo mv chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
rm -r chromedriver-linux64

Install Python libraries using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you run script in a headless environment, e.g. server, then consider installing Xvfb:

sudo apt install xvfb

After Xvfb installation, you should run it in the background:

Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1280x800x24 &

Tip

You can change the resolution to your desired one.

Usage

Run the script using Python:

python main.py

The script will immediately perform the login and then schedule itself to run every 24 hours.

Logs: Check the logs/login_script.log file for detailed logs and any potential issues.

Headless Mode: If you need to see the browser window, you can disable headless mode by commenting out the --headless argument in the Options setup.

Debug Script: For more detailed debugging, you can use the debug.py script provided in this repository. This script is configured to run in a non-headless mode and includes additional logging to help troubleshoot any issues. To run the debug script, use:
