This PR is a crazy workaround for CRS' Login via Gmail only feature. I said crazy because it's a complicated thing to do in the app now. With this, I am thinking of switching to Javascript extension client, but would still reuse some of my endpoints.
Basically, I set up a Selenium-based browser to open the CRS website in which you can login via UP email. Once you have logged in into CRS, Selenium will harvest cookies of the successful attempt of the login, notify the popup that it has successfully harvested the cookies, then finally feed those cookies into the scraper session. At this point, we're essentially scraping the authenticated version of the site!
Docker, on the other hand, doesn't support Selenium-based browser popup, so Login via Gmail option will now be useless when
docker-compose up --buildis used. I am hoping CRS would set theusernameandpasswordagain.For now, I'm gonna find more alternatives.
