I had a problem running executing a Webdriver using a script in python using the library selenium. I have posted the sample code scenarios as well as the corresponding error thrown while executing.
Code Scenario:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
Error Scenario:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I coudnt understand the Error thrown. I just need to use the selenium library to retrieve a dynamic data from a website using a python script.
There is nothing wrong with your code, it works fine for me.
Do you have firefox installed? if not, you can use a different browser. for example:
driver = webdriver.Ie
or
driver = webdriver.Opera

receiving the following error when attempting to run Chrome Driver via my Selenium Test in CodeSpace/Workspace.
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'Service' object has no attribute 'process'
The code I'm running currently is the below:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
ser = Service("/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/chromedriver")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.quit()
I've added the selenium.webdriver.chrome.service line as it removed an issue with the executable path, but not the final Attribute Error?
Any help would be fantastic as have exhausted my Googling capabilities!
Just trying to initially get ChromeDriver working for another project but can't get it to launch due to the above error.
I want to manage the tabs of Vivaldi (Windows) using Python: get URLs, focus a specific tab, open, close, reload...
This post asks how to open Vivaldi, and my script does it, but not when/how it's supposed to do it:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
import os
current_user = os.getlogin()
s = Service(rf"C:\Users\{current_user}\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
The last line opens a new (unwanted) window of Vivaldi, which baffles me because I thought it should only declare a variable, and then nothing happens for some minutes. Finally I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Negozio\Dropbox\D.Apps\Negozio\Conta\test.py", line 7, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)

self.service.start()

raise WebDriverException("Can not connect to the Service %s" % self.path)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can not connect to the Service C:\Users\Negozio\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\Application\vivaldi.exe
I thought that Vivaldi should open with driver.get("http://url.com"), am I wrong? What's happening here, and above all how can I manage Vivaldi with Python?
I'm trying to learn how to automate web processes using Selenium and hopefully be able to build robust web scrapers and stuff. So, I just finished installing Pycharm and Selenium, and I am just trying to run a simple snippet of code that opens a web page in chrome, nothing too fancy. My code is as follows (it's in Python of course)
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "/Users/Kudzie/Tools/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get('https://orbitrevolution.tech')
So , when I run this code, I get this exception, and I have no idea how to solve this, I've tried reading past variations of this question but i didn't seem to get a solution that works. the exception is as follows
Traceback (most recent call last):

Try replacing this:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
With this:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=PATH)
Have looked for an answer, but couldn't find anything. It seems insistent on saying it can't find the file specified and then checks PATH, but can't see it even then :/ I've put the directory in PATH: http://imgur.com/a/ZP59w
Program:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")

I had the same problem and solved it by using Options method.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.binary_location = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Dev\Application\chrome.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\chromedriver.exe", )
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
Hope it solved your problem.
You could try passing it the path directly.
So I have the webdriver file on my dekstop so:
webdriver.Chrome('C:/Users/adam/Desktop/chromedriver.exe')
You can get the webdriver here.
You can use the following :
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome(r"*your path here*")
How to get path?
If on windows system go to the extracted location of the webdriver press shift key and select Copy as Path
enter image description here
Download the webdriver you want here:
https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/installation.html#drivers
Unzip the folder you just downloaded, take the executable file (let's say chromedriver.exe) and put it somewhere (let's say in "C:\Users")
Go back into your python code and change your line to :
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Users\chromedriver.exe')
It should work now
I am trying to run Selenium from the command line with Python. I have ice weasel installed n a raspberry pi. This is my code to initialise it:
from selenium import webdriver
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
However, whenever I try to run the file, I get the following error:
