#Open browser
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
url='https://www.premierleague.com/players'
driver.get(url)
This the code I have. It only opens for a second and then closes again. Does anyone know why?
I am assuming the problem is with the chrome driver manager, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
You can use time.sleep(10) to keep the window open. I'm using 10 as an example for the number of seconds.

I try to open browser using Selenium in Python and after the browser opens, it exits from it, I tried several ways to write my code but every possible way works this way.
Thank you in advance for help
`from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
s=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.get("https://amazon.com")`
I expected the browser to open amazon.com and stay like this until I close or the programme close it.
Actual result - when the browser loads the website, it exists from itself.
Use driver.close() function after getting result ;)
I'm trying to change my code to use an IE headless browser. The automation I'm doing is in a website that only works in internet explorer
My code was working great until I tried to use a headless browser
When I run this code, absolutely nothing happens, no error is thrown
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.ie.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.microsoft import IEDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.ie.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.common.exceptions import StaleElementReferenceException
from dotenv import load_dotenv
# Inicialização do Selenium
ie_options = Options()
ie_options.ignore_zoom_level = True
## WORKS!
# driver = webdriver.Ie(service=Service(IEDriverManager().install()), options=ie_options)
## NOT WORKING
service = Service(executable_path=constantes.PATH_HEADLESS)
driver = webdriver.Ie(service=service, options=ie_options)
# Acessa a página
driver.get(constantes.URL)
I believe the reason why it seems nothing is happening is because you have no output (not printing anything). I'm not familiar with your process, but I tried it out with mine also using chrome and it worked fine. Context:
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
driver=webdriver.Chrome(service=Service('*executable
path'),options=chrome_options)
driver.get('https://stackoverflow.com/')
print(driver.title)
My code is very short. When I try it, the program opens web page but program closes immediately after.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://google.com")
I believe the problem is coming from my environment, so I have not tried any changes to the code to resolve this.
You have to add the below chrome options:
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)
driver.get("https://google.com")
Actually it only opens youtube but don't type anything and search
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://youtube.com')
searchArea = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="search"]')
searchArea.send_keys('Sujeet Gund')
searchButton = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="search-icon-legacy"]')
searchButton.click()
Try //input[#id="search"] instead.
------------------ updated below ------------------
Well, I guess you had copied wrong xpath. Maybe you might just copied the wrapper(or container) not the exact input field.
This solution using specific tag input makes selenium easier to find the element. But be careful not to use when there're more than one element with the same xpath.
Plus, I recommend you to use in this way
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
SERVICE = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
OPTIONS = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=SERVICE, options=OPTIONS)
driver.get('https://youtube.com')
searchArea = driver.find_element(by=By.XPATH, value='//input[#id="search"]')
searchArea.send_keys('Sujeet Gund')
because currently some functions in selenium are deprecated.
I had this issue on 2 different systems, on first PC it went away after a reboot, on the other it had not gone away
Below is a portion of the code in question:
I masked some things on purpose
The edge browser is stuck on openign page with data;, shown in the address bar. It does not go beyond this.
I checked that Edge and Edgedriver are the same exact version, if it matters.
I cannot use Chrome or any other drivers for this project
Why doesn't selenium advance past the opening of the program?
I also have an error in CMD when it launches: [9704:11992:0305/080544.278:ERROR:storage_reserve.cc(164)] Failed to open file to mark as storage reserve: C:\Users**\AppData\Local\Temp\scoped_dir3468_1483298328\Default\Code Cache\js on selenium
How do I fix this?
