remote webdriver - how?

[dedepene]

Hello,

with regular selenium webdriver I can call it remotely on a selenium grid like so:

driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=sel_driver_url, options=options)

Is there a way to do instantiate a remote driver using SeleniumBase in uc=True mode?

Thanks!!!

As mentioned in #2675 (comment), "UC Mode is not compatible with the Grid / Remote WebDriver".

There's lots of documentation on using SeleniumBase with a Selenium Grid / Remote WebDriver: (SeleniumBase/seleniumbase/utilities/selenium_grid/ReadMe.md and SeleniumBase/examples/capabilities)
but you can't use UC Mode with the Grid.

The original undetected-chromedriver doesn't support the Grid / Remote WebDriver either:

The Grid / Remote WebDriver is a problem for UC Mode because while the Grid controls chromedriver, the Grid does not have the root control that is needed. UC Mode requires raw control for modifying a local chromedriver (renamed to uc_driver), as well as for disconnecting the driver from Chrome, and reconnecting to it a short time later. It's also not possible to control pyautogui remotely from the Grid. (Note that pyautogui is required for multiple UC Mode actions.)
