How to add extensions

[penielny]

Hi, guys I'm finding it difficult to add an extension to my project any help ??
the code i have below is not working and sugestions
`
def set_up_driver(self):
chrome_options = uc.ChromeOptions()
random_user_agent = random.choice(self.user_agents)
chrome_options.add_argument(f"--user-agent={random_user_agent}")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")

    # Add proxy extension if needed
    if self.proxy:
        extension = self.getProxyExtenstion()
        try:
            chrome_options.add_extension(extension)
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Failed to load extension: {e}")

    # Initialize undetected-chromedriver
    try:
        self.driver = uc.Chrome(headless=False, use_subprocess=False, options=chrome_options)
        self.wait = WebDriverWait(self.driver, 10)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error initializing driver: {e}")

I went through this process not too long ago.

Personally, I could never get chrome_options.add_extension() to work, I use:

chrome_options.add_argument("--load-extension=Extensions\\proxy_auth_plugin_"+nprx)

I have boiler plate templates for manifest.js, content.js, etc. and when I call a driver to open with a proxy it checks if the appropriate extension has been created, if it hasn't been created then I create it leveraging my proxy details and my boiler plate js scripts.
