UC Mode users should upgrade to 4.30.8 (or newer if available)

In case you missed #3128 and #3131, CF made changes to their CAPTCHAs, and new UC Mode updates were needed to continue clicking them successfully (when they force you to click the CAPTCHA to bypass it).

This includes fixes for the following methods:

• sb.uc_gui_click_captcha()
• sb.uc_gui_handle_captcha()

These CAPTCHA changes shouldn't be surprising to anyone who's already watched:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EpZlhGWo9k (my latest UC Mode video tutorial: "Revenge of the CAPTCHAs").

Upgrade to SeleniumBase 4.30.8 (or newer if available) to continue bypassing CAPTCHAs as usual.

• https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/releases/tag/v4.30.7
• https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase/releases/tag/v4.30.8

Selenium is used to calculate the location of the CAPTCHA (or the number of times to press Tab before pressing Spacebar) and then the page needs to reload before performing those actions again because Selenium gets detected when calculating locations / tab presses. After the page refreshes, PyAutoGUI saves the day by performing actions in a stealthy way.

Version 4.30.1 would cause the cursor to click at the top left corner of the web browser. I would double check that you upgraded or other components because it is working fine for me.

.venv/bin/pip freeze | grep "base"

seleniumbase==4.30.7

I will check because maybe is trying to solve the dep from another folder...

Any tips? I'm still trying to adapt to python

[kevtruong170]

It's hard to say without actually seeing the code. My best suggestion is to test 4.30.7 in a separate environment to ensure its working properly and then slowly break down the code until you notice a change in behaviour.

As per I can see in headed mode, it's solving the cloudflare challenge but it's recognized as bot (the screen stay as white, which means bot detected).

Reconnect time test with 7, 10 and 15, re-installed deps, even installed from github, still not working.

I will do more tests in some minutes, but I'm run out of ideas.

Seems like sb.uc_gui_click_captcha() working correctly but sb.uc_gui_handle_cf() keeps crashing, can you check please @mdmintz

[ProtocolNebula]

As additional information, that's my code to solve cloudflare:

            sb.uc_click('[type="submit"]', reconnect_time=7)

            try:
                # with lockCloudflare:
                sb.post_message("Solving cloudflare...")
                sb.uc_gui_click_captcha()  # Only if needed
            except Exception as e:
                logger.error("ERROR: Cloudflare challenge error")
                votesSummary["totalCloudflareError"] += 1
                raise e

Looks like it. In the meantime, people should use sb.uc_gui_click_captcha() if they can, which works in all environments.

yep but I can't use it on my linux ubuntu remote server with chromium_arg='--force-device-scale-factor=2.0', using this argument for high quality screenshots and when I use it with sb.uc_gui_click_captcha() it can't bypass captcha. If I disable this arg it can bypass through sb.uc_gui_click_captcha() so I have to use sb.uc_gui_handle_cf()

[ProtocolNebula]

As per the test i've did (with headed mode), the cloudflare is detecting the selenium attached, because it changes to white the screen before the cursor starts moving.
