raw_turnstile.py not passing Cloudflare

[oculunto]

Hello,
Just wanted to know if it was a general thing or just me, but it seems like Cloudflare is detecting clicks so the example raw_turnstile.py for example is not passing the check.
(It works properly with disconnect and clicking manually though).

Looks like Cloudflare made a change today.

Hahaha thank you good sir !
I have tried to simulate mouse movement with actions but it gets me no where so far, I will keep trying.

As Qyburn would say about the newest version of CF's CAPTCHA checkbox:
It's "Powerful, but not invincible".

Now, "If you'll kindly pull that lever" after pip install pyautogui with the latest version of SeleniumBase:

import pyautogui
from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(uc=True, test=True) as sb:
    sb.driver.uc_open_with_reconnect("https://seleniumbase.io/apps/turnstile")
    sb.send_keys("html", "\t")
    sb.driver.disconnect()
    pyautogui.press(" ")
    sb.sleep(1)
    sb.driver.connect()
    sb.assert_element("img#captcha-success", timeout=3)
    sb.set_messenger_theme(location="top_left")
    sb.post_message("SeleniumBase wasn't detected", duration=3)

Tested on macOS. You may have to enable permissions for the terminal to send keyboard actions.

The above solution currently requires knowing how many times to press the Tab key. Eg:

sb.send_keys("html", "\t\t\t")

... before pressing the SPACEBAR with:

pyautogui.press(" ")

This is only a temporary workaround. The plan is to make the click work without pyautogui by using pure selenium.

Thank you for the workaround !
Unfortunately for me, I think the window needs to be in focus in order for pyautogui to click, and it doesn't work when having multiple chrome windows at the same time it seems...

[mdmintz]

That's why it's only a temporary workaround...
For people who couldn't wait a day for the next SeleniumBase release with a pure-Selenium solution.

[oculunto]

Yes I understand
But it's a good idea, I'm working on a workaround based on it meanwhile.
Thanks for your work

I am trying to use pywinauto instead and sending a virstual keystroke, but I cannot manage to get the PID of the window.
browser.service.process.pid does not retrieve a valid PID.
Note that I am using many chrome processes at the same time, so it is not possible to just retrieve the PID by name.
Is there a way to get the current PID of the chrome window in SB?

[mdmintz]

Don't worry about it. The new release with the pure Selenium solution is coming later today.

Resolved in 4.24.12 - https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/releases/tag/v4.24.12

Upgrade to the latest version, and try the updated examples. UC Mode is great again.

Notes: I examined the CF changes and found mistakes that they made in their latest release. The UC Mode method: driver.uc_switch_to_frame(iframe) isn't needed anymore because they aren't really looking for Selenium outside of their iframe (not including browser internals, such as console variables, which make a difference). This also means that you can fill out a form with Selenium, and then click the CAPTCHA checkbox (as opposed to before, where you had to click the checkbox first to minimize Selenium detection, before filling out a form). With the CF updates and the UC Mode updates to match their changes, UC Mode is now in better shape than before.

Thank you sir, boss !
