Keep user_data_dir after browser close

[waysiPire0]

Code:

`
class Bot:

main_tab: uc.Tab

def __init__(self, email, password, proxy): # proxy = host:port or user:pass:ip:port
  self.email = email
  self.password =  password
  self.proxy = proxy
  self.browser = None
  self.current_page = None
  self.profile_fodler_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(),'zzprofile')
  if not os.path.exists(self.profile_fodler_path):
    os.mkdir(self.profile_fodler_path)
  uc.loop().run_until_complete(self.run())

async def auth_challenge_handler(self, event: uc.cdp.fetch.AuthRequired):
    # Split the credentials
    # Respond to the authentication challenge
    USERNAME = self.proxy.split(":")[0]
    PASSWORD = self.proxy.split(":")[1]
    asyncio.create_task(
        self.main_tab.send(
            uc.cdp.fetch.continue_with_auth(
                request_id=event.request_id,
                auth_challenge_response=uc.cdp.fetch.AuthChallengeResponse(
                    response="ProvideCredentials",
                    username=USERNAME,
                    password=PASSWORD,
                ),
            )
        )
    )

async def req_paused(self, event: uc.cdp.fetch.RequestPaused):

    )

everytime when my program stop, it automatically remove/delete the user_data_dir from my computer. I want to keep it and i dont want it to delete it.
Please help !

I had a similar issue, but got it to work as a browser arg:

browser_args = [f"--user-data-dir=USER_DATA_DIR"]

I'm persisting some browser extension configs this way.
