I had try with python with webbrowser.open, but it only work on IE. How to let it open chrome or firefox. I don't want it to open on IE, i wants to be open on Chrome or Firefox. Due to i try many method, but none of them works.
import time
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('www.google.com')
you need specify your webbrowser's name, detal see webbrowser.get
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('www.google.com')
a = webbrowser.get('firefox')
a.open('www.google.com') # True
UPDATE
If you have chrome or firefox installed in your computer, do as following:
chrome_path =r'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe' # change to your chrome.exe path
# webbrowser is just call subprocess.Popen, so make sure this work in your cmd firstly
# C:\Users\Administrator>C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe www.google.com
# there two way solve your problem
# you have change \ to / in windows
# this seems a bug in browser = shlex.split(browser) in windows
# ['C:UsersAdministratorAppDataLocalGoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe', '%s']
a = webbrowser.get(r'C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s')
a.open('www.google.com') #True
# or by register
webbrowser.register('chrome', None,webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser(r'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe'))
a = webbrowser.get('chrome')
a.open('www.google.com') #True
else you can try selenium, it provide much more functions and only need chromedriver.

I'm trying to use the undetected_chromedriver.v2 package in Python Anaconda. My code goes like this:
import undetected_chromedriver.v2 as uc
ucoptions = uc.ChromeOptions()
print('1')
ucoptions.add_argument('--no-first-run')
print('2')
driver = uc.Chrome(chrome_options = ucoptions)
print('3')
In Anaconda Spyder, it works well if I use the F9 key to step into every single line of code and is able to open the Chrome browser normally as expected.
However, whenever I use the F5 key to run the whole file, it always get stuck in the driver = uc.Chrome(chrome_options = ucoptions) line and can only print out "1" and "2" on my screen.
Can anyone help me with this issue? Many thanks!
I run the following commands and receive execution error.
Here is my code:
import webbrowser
test = "chrome://chrome-urls/"
webbrowser.open_new(test)
Error:
0:37: execution error: An error of type -10814 has occurred. (-10814)
What is my mistake? I use Pycharm on MacOs
Well, it seems there isn't much on this error, but what I could find is that -10814 is a kLSApplicationNotFoundErr. It probably means that the OS launch services can't associate the given URL with a default app to open it, which makes sense since you are trying to open an internal chrome URL. It probably won't throw the same error with standard http/https URLs.
This code works fine for me.
import webbrowser
test = 'https://stackoverflow.com/'
ff = webbrowser.get('google-chrome')
ff.open(test)
But this does not.
import webbrowser
test = 'chrome://chrome-urls/'
ff = webbrowser.get('google-chrome')
ff.open(test)
Maybe you cannot open this type of urls.
I was trying to automate opening multiple user profiles given a list of names on a few different sites but i can not find a way to open a link in a new window meaning i can not sort the different sites i am opening into their own window collection.
here is my code:
import webbrowser
chrome_path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
firefox_path="C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\Firefox.exe"
strURL = "http://www.python.org"
webbrowser.register('chrome', None,webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser(chrome_path),1)
webbrowser.register('firefox', None,webbrowser.BackgroundBrowser(chrome_path),1)
webbrowser.open(strURL, new=0)
webbrowser.open(strURL, new=1)
webbrowser.open(strURL, new=2)
webbrowser.get('chrome').open(strURL)
webbrowser.get('firefox').open(strURL)
webbrowser.get('chrome').open_new(strURL)
webbrowser.get('firefox').open_new(strURL)
no matter what value i put for new (0, 1, or 2), all that ever happens is it opens a new tab in the last window i clicked on. i have tried all of the other methods that i found in they python documentation for the webbrowser module and everyone online is just saying to use "new=1" or webbroswer.open_new() but neither of those work. and even when i point it at firefox it just goes to chrome.
P.S.
i found a small workaround that i am not totally satisfied with.
import webbrowser
chrome_path = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s"
chrome_path_NW = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s --new-window"
firefox_path = "C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\Firefox.exe"
strURL = "http://www.python.org"
controller = webbrowser.get(chrome_path)
controllerNW = webbrowser.get(chrome_path_NW)
controllerNW.open(strURL, new=0)
controller.open(strURL, new=1)
controller.open(strURL, new=2)
controller.open("www.youtube.com", new=2)
the important thing to look at would be the "chrome_path" variable. i have changed it so it will run as a command and accept arguments. i found some launch arguments for chromium, here, that seem to work from chrome too. "--new-window" will open a new window and i can then open more tabs in that window but this is a total workaround of pythons module that i am not confident won't break if i am trying to use chrome while running this script. if there is any feature where i could group links together to open in specific windows that would be much more useful to me.
I realise this is a bit late but hopefully i can help someone in the future.
Basically you need to use the subprocess module to open up a new window before you load a new webpage
import subprocess
import time
import webbrowser
subprocess.Popen('open -a /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app --new', shell=True)
time.sleep(0.5) # this is to let the app open before you try to load a new page
webbrowser.open(url)
Hey there just trying a basic browser launch using Firefox.
I've tried using executable path, if statement, and without an if statement and the browser will still not open. I've checked the shell and I don't have an error.My best guess is I'm missing an action of some sort I just need someone to point my in the right direction using my current code, thank you.
from selenium import webdriver
class testbot():
def botfox(self):
driver = self.driver = webdriver.firfox(geckodriver)
driver.get("https://wwww.google.com")
if __name__ == "__botfox__":
botfox()
ok, try this :)
from selenium import webdriver
class testbot():
def botfox(self):
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
self.driver.get("https://wwww.google.com")
if __name__ == '__main__':
testBotInstace = testbot()
testBotInstace.botfox()
I'd be surprised if that worked. Have you tried calling it via testbot().botfox() ?
webdriver.firfox would not work, as the syntax is webdriver.Firefox
webdriver.firfox(geckodriver) would not work as geckodriver is not defined anywhere
botfox() would not work because there is no function defined as that. There is one inside of testbot but you would need to first instantiate the class and then call it via testbot().botfox()
What can I use to call the OS to open a URL in whatever browser the user has as default?
Not worried about cross-OS compatibility; if it works in linux thats enough for me!
Here is how to open the user's default browser with a given url:
import webbrowser
url = "https://www.google.com/"
webbrowser.open(url, new=0, autoraise=True)
Here is the documentation about this functionality. It's part of Python's stdlibs:
http://docs.python.org/library/webbrowser.html
I have tested this successfully on Linux, Ubuntu 10.10.
Personally I really wouldn't use the webbrowser module.
It's a complicated mess of sniffing for particular browsers, which will won't find the user's default browser if they have more than one installed, and won't find a browser if it doesn't know the name of it (eg Chrome).
Better on Windows is simply to use the os.startfile function, which also works on a URL. On OS X, you can use the open system command. On Linux there's xdg-open, a freedesktop.org standard command supported by GNOME, KDE and XFCE.
if sys.platform=='win32':
os.startfile(url)
elif sys.platform=='darwin':
subprocess.Popen(['open', url])
else:
try:
subprocess.Popen(['xdg-open', url])
except OSError:
print 'Please open a browser on: '+url
This will give a better user experience on mainstream platforms. You could fall back to webbrowser on other platforms, perhaps. Though most likely if you're on an obscure/unusual/embedded OS where none of the above work, chances are webbrowser will fail too.
You can use the webbrowser module.
webbrowser.open(url)
Then how about mixing codes of #kobrien and #bobince up:
import subprocess
import webbrowser
import sys
url = 'http://test.com'
if sys.platform == 'darwin': # in case of OS X
subprocess.Popen(['open', url])
else:
webbrowser.open_new_tab(url)
Have a look at the webbrowser module.
