python selenium - using chrome with extensions/ add ons

Hi Guys,

i'm trying to automate the chrome browser to test using an extension.

I've read this is possible by setting the option in chrome options

heres the code I have :

Code:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

chrome_options = Options()

chrome_options.extension=['C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Desktop\\chrome_extension\\AdBlock_v2.5.61.crx']

driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

driver.get(anything)


I get :

AttributeError: can't set attribute

for the line:

chrome_options.extension=['C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Desktop\\chrome_extension\\AdBlock_v2.5.61.crx']

I've tried googling around and can't find anything I'm really stuck, any help would be appreciated
