running multiple scripts at the same time

[wif70068]

if I run multiple python scripts which look like this:

...
with SB(uc=True) as sb:
    sb.driver.set_page_load_timeout(60)
    sb.driver.uc_open_with_reconnect(url, reconnect_time=10)
    sb.sleep(1)
    if sb.is_element_visible('iframe[src*="challenge"]'):
        with sb.frame_switch('iframe[src*="challenge"]'):
            sb.driver.uc_click("span.mark", reconnect_time=3)
            sb.sleep(5)

... at times when their execution overlaps, will the other running scripts be aborted by the implicit driver.quit() of the "with SB" of the first script finishing?

Your "span.mark" selector is incorrect. In case you missed the memo, Cloudflare changed their CAPTCHAs: No more span.mark. Only span now for that selector. (#2766)

The SB() format will automatically quit the browser at the end of the with block.

For multithreading, you have two options:

1. pytest via pytest-xdist. (Eg. pytest -n3, as seen in SeleniumBase/examples/presenter/multi_uc.py)
2. ThreadPoolExecutor as shown in SeleniumBase/help_docs/uc_mode.md.

Thanks for the quick response and the selector update!

The suggested options seem ideal for one script managing multiple URLs/threads. My goal, however, is to have multiple scripts handling individual URLs without mutual interference. These scripts are invoked within another multithreaded architecture. Is that possible?

Other architectures might work for multithreading, but for the non-officially-supported architectures, it’s up to the individuals to make them work on their own. You’ll need to make sure to do proper thread-locking in order to prevent conflicts when spinning up browsers. The officially supported multithreading architectures do that if you follow those examples with the included instructions.
