Closed 6 months ago.
I am new at Python and selenium and I want to build an webdriver or bot respectively. I tried to execute the code below with inserting "python3 main.py" and with running the code on VS code but it is not working. The error result is enclosed. I am using Mac. The chromedriver exec is in the same main folder like the code I am writing, so actually the Path should be right. I tried different ways to solve my problem but non of them worked. I have the right chromedriver version on my mac and I even allowed my system to open the chromedriver folder.

Issues running ChromeDriver and FirefoxDriver with Selenium

Tried adding the drivers to the right path. mentioned the path in the code and yet getting runtime errors with chromedriver. Cannot see what is wrong with the code. whats wrong?
Tried adding the path to the code. imported selenium and webdriver. placed the drivers in the python directory.
from selenium import webdriver
#to open the page in Chrome.firefox
driver = webdriver.Chrome("executable_path=D:\Python\Crawler\chromedriver_win32")
driver.get("http://econpy.pythonanywhere.com/ex/001.html")
given Below are the errors:
D:\Python\Crawler\venv\Scripts\python.exe D:/Python/Crawler/crawler_sel.py

Try the below this worked for me
from selenium import webdriver
#to open the page in Chrome.firefox
def set_up(self):
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome("D:/Python/Crawler/chromedriver_win32.exe")

Your syntax here is off. It should be:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='D:/Python/Crawler/chromedriver_win32.exe')
I've taken quotation marks off executable_path, and added .exe extension to your file path.
Alternative solution -- If you do not want to use executable_path, you can try adding chromedriver_win32.exe to your Path variable:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://econpy.pythonanywhere.com/ex/001.html")
Then, in your environment variable for Path, you have something like:
D:\Python\Crawler\chromedriver_win32.exe

The error does say the webdriver has the wrong permissions. Is the path to ChromeDriver correct? Try to make the path something like:
browser21 = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=C:\Webdrivers\chromedriver.exe)
Or wherever you have chromedriver saved, but make sure the path is directly to the exe.
Try redownloading the newest ChromeDriver available and place it in the folder you want. Don't forget to add it to system PATH and not just user.

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH with GeckoDriver Selenium Firefox

I don't know Pycharm - or Python well enough to troubleshoot just what went wrong. It seems top me as if this simply bit of code should execute but I get a jumble of text that says nothing to me.
Anyone else using Selenium get this error and know how to fix it?

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver'

The executive code
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("https://auth.edgenuity.com/Login/Login/Student")
button = driver.find_element_by_id('LoginSubmit')
button.click()

The error says it all :
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH.
Which implies that GeckoDriver binary is not in the Classpath
While working with Selenium v3.x you have to download the latest GeckoDriver from this url and store it in your system and mention the absolute path while initiating the webdriver and Web Browser session as follows :
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="C:\\path\\to\\geckodriver.exe")
driver.get("https://auth.edgenuity.com/Login/Login/Student")
button = driver.find_element_by_id('LoginSubmit')
button.click()

For what little help it might be, the critical parts of the traceback are
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
line 3, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver'
executable needs to be in PATH.
It seems that the Firefox webdriver isn't in the defined search path that your main program sees. There's something called geckodriver that isn't available.
Check your installation and configuration for this package. Consult with your class instructors and classmates for help. I suspect that the repair is something with your local set-up, beyond our knowledge here.

Python Selenium " 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH"

Even though I have already put geckodriver in there and I restarted my computer, it still prints the same thing.

>>>browser = webdriver.Firefox()

And an error before that as well! Someone please help a newbie out. Image of the Path variable

You need to mention the path of the gecko driver executable. Below line will get you some idea.
driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="add geckodriver.exe")
Hope this helps. Thanks.
