@Jack J Jun , I was looking for a way to attach the excel file automatically to WhatsApp and send it. I got No success as I got two big issues :
1: - it opens a new chrome window every time with WhatsApp scan QR code even if i explicitly mention it to use already opened chrome window with a login session of whatsapp in it .
2: - It also opens a new instance of terminal invoking webdriver .
The code which I have used is uploaded on github : https://github.com/Ankitgoel2009/projectforratlamandoffice/tree/complete_collections under the branch complete_collections

2023-01-02T06:14:20.827+00:00 @Jack J Jun , sorry I forgot to upload the necessary files . You can comment the code for creating the excel file and continue with any excel or text file or whatever you have to run the run the code which starts from initialising the web driver.

2023-01-06T09:14:39.19+00:00 @Jack J Jun , I cannot understand what you are asking. Have you installed chrome on you system. The chromedriver class expects the path of the chromedriver.exe. I didn't get any errors while running. Instead my problem is to somehow force chromedriver to use the already opened session of chrome.

2023-01-10T08:02:53.23+00:00 @Jack J Jun , you can ignore my code . And write your own . basically what i am trying is, to opened the already opened chrome window instead of opening new window every time which the chromedriver is doing .

2023-01-10T08:04:51.977+00:00 @Jack J Jun , you can also use any webaddress instead of web.whatsapp.com . But that webaddress must already be opened in chrome previously .
