Chrome headless driver never makes it to website - selenium

Question

Otherwise: Anyone have any good pypeteer guides they can link me to?
Hi guys, i'm trying to run chrome headless. This is my code:
def init_chrome(profile, headless, proxy: str = "159.197.220.31:5594"):
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
if headless:
options.add_argument("--headless")
print('headless set')
options.binary_location = r"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=8000")
options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={proxy}')
options.add_argument(f"user-data-dir=browser-profiles/chrome/{profile}")
options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features")
options.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["disable-popup-blocking"])
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")
options.add_argument(
"user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.141 Safari/537.36")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options,
executable_path=fr'{getcwd()}\chromedriver.exe')
print('driver launched')
driver.execute_cdp_cmd("Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument", {
"source": """
Object.defineProperty(navigator, 'webdriver', {
get: () => undefined
})
"""
})
# driver.set_window_size(1200, 900)
driver.implicitly_wait(5)
return driver
This is the output:
headless set
driver launched
As you can see, the driver is launched, but it never goes to the page. It just sits there and eats resources. What am I doing wrong? For context, this works fine when headless=False.

Answer 1

I suppose you need [--no-sandbox] to by pass OS security and if you using Windows add
[--disable-gpu] to enable headless.
It should look like this:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.headless = True
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('start-maximized')
driver =webdriver.Chrome(executable_path= path to your browser, options=options)
driver.get("http://google.com/")
driver.quit()
