I had recently started learning automation with python using selenium. I had installed chromedriver but when i run the code chrome displays no output. My code:
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("www.wikipedia.com")
Output
Output :
C:\Users\Admin\PycharmProjects\untitled\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/Admin/PycharmProjects/untitled/1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Please help as I'm unable to proceed.
Thanks!

Okay so I was writing my first selenium code which is:
browser.get('https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/')
browser.find_element_by_link_text('Download')
<selenium.webdriver.remote.webelement.WebElement (session="69f43bf4a5e98baf24ad3746dd01b514", element="0fa96685-d871-464f-aaaa-af02238a5f08")>
I wanted to simply go to the pycharm website and click on downloads, which worked fine.
But when I tried to store the previous function in a variable like so:
elem = browser.find_element_by_link_text('Download')
I got all these errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 428, in find_element_by_link_text

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchWindowException: Message: no such window: window was already closed
(Session info: chrome=87.0.4280.66)
I have no idea what they mean or what ive done wrong. Help much appreciated.
PS: I am using pycharm and selenium chromedriver if thats helpful.
No issues in this.
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='C:/bin/chromedriver.exe')
browser.get('https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/')
element = browser.find_element_by_link_text('Download')
element.click()
Using chrome 76.0.3809.132 with chromedriver 76.0.3809.126 the testing browser opens but throws a traceback on the driver.get. It isn't able to fetch the page.
Tried couple of arguments, and tried looking for an older version of Chrome with an older chrome driver, which seems impossible.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("www.google.com")
Output:

Try to insert https://:

driver.get("https://www.google.com")
I am using python3 on mac os and I have updated chrome, chromedriver and selenium to the latest version. I am getting a TimeoutException, the browser opens correctly but it freezes.
>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# opens browser with blank page
>>> driver.get('http://example.com')
# gets first page OK and then driver literally flashes once
>>> driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com')
>>>
# Cursor loading forever... until TimeoutException

I'm using: Python 3.5.2 ,Chrome 54.0, chromedriver 2.25, selenium 3.0.1
I've tried other versions of chromedriver with no success, also I did not find any solution to this online. Thanks.
EDIT:
Still getting the error from above + getting a new error:

Issue817:It looks like this issue has been logged as a bug for Selenium.
Someone has answered to get rid from this issue by using the --dns-prefetch-disable option of chrome.
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--dns-prefetch-disable')
driver = Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)

It looks like you've got a problem with your file encoding. I'm not sure if that's the BOM or not, but you should check your file with a hex editor.
I just installed Splinter, input simple code like below but have error. Can someone help me on this? Thanks.
from splinter import Browser
b=Browser()
url = "http://www.google.com"
b.visit(url)

Try this instead:
from splinter import Browser
with Browser() as b:
b.visit("http://www.google.com")
Docs here: https://splinter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#sample-code
The method above handles quitting the browser. Your method, also in the docs, should work (it works for me). Try it again, I've noticed I get almost the same error as yours, if my url is "www.google.com". Make sure you have "http://" part.
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Target URL
www.google.com is not well-formed
