I am automating a process using Selenium Firefox and Python. I am running Selenium on a Google Virtual Instance and accessing using RDP. All went fine when I ran it through RDP, but the problem is when I disconnect from RDP, Selenium doesn't work.
The part of selenium that doesn't work is :
WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(ec.element_to_be_clickable((By. CSS_SELECTOR,'div.van-key__wrapper:nth-child(9) div:nth-child(1)'))).click()
I have tested everything all over the internet like gpedit regedit everything and also not tell to put bat file or command to stay connected to local user like chromedriver (selenium).

I am writing automation for one of the site. I am able to access that site in chrome when I open that site manually in chrome or incognito mode. But when I am trying to launch it using automation in any browser its giving me site can not be reached error
Below is my simple code -
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("excludeSwitches", "enable-automation");
options.AddArguments("useAutomationExtension", "False");
options.AddArgument("incognito");
IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Console.WriteLine("Test MY Site");
driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitWait = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60);
driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
driver.Manage().Cookies.DeleteAllCookies();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://example.net");
I tried with Selenium C#, Selenium Python , Cypress etc. but getting same error.
I also tried to launch site in chrome, edge, firefox and safari there also getting same error.
Note- I am using latest version of chrome, latest version of selenium and windows 10. I also tried after downgrading selenium and chrome
I have also tried setting proxy manual and automatic. also tried with no proxy setting. Internet connection is not at all issue since site is working fine when I am using that site manually in chrome
I found undetected-chrome driver helps in this case but I did find exe for undetected-chromedriver in order to launch site
Please help
[I'm kind of new using python/selenium]
I wrote a script where it extracts some data from a website, it was working just fine...! until recently the website migrated to an Amazon web server application. Now to access it I use a kind of web browser inside of web browser (like a virtual machine) and because of that I'm not able to click on anything with my script anymore.
I open the website with chrome web driver. and the virtual machine opens a firefox web browser inside the chromedriver.
I tried to switch to geckodriver.exe(firefox) but still can't click on anything.
I keep getting these errors:
NoSuchElementException: Message: Unable to locate element.
So I made a program that start a headless browser ( Chrome ) with Selenium in Python.
I have a CyberGhost VPN.
When I try to start my script with the VPN active, Selenium open a chrome windows, with "data" in the url but doesn't proceed further.
Otherwise, it works when I start the script with inactive VPN and turn the VPN on when selenium is running normally.
I don't understart what can be the problem ...
Thanks :)
VPN is handled at the OS level, before Selenium gets anywhere near. You can try to setup a config with CyberGhostVPN and run an exec command to start your connection. After that, then start Webdriver and it should be running over VPN. See here on Calling an external command from Python
It may also be due to a firewall issue, so you can also try to deactivate the included firewall in CyberGhostVPN.
I am using selenium-2.35.0 and Python-2.7.
Testcases are written in python.
my python code to create driver object:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities={
"browserName": "firefox"
})
And run selenium server by,
java - jar selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0.jar
I had my code working in Firefox - 22 - had the selenium server running, able to run scripts in python, etc. So I'm confident the code works.
Recently, I updated FireFox to 23 and now all I get is
"[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
I thought maybe I need to restart the server again, or something. But that seems to do nothing. Is this issue related to selenium webdriver's support for the latest browser version?
But as of this link http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/java/CHANGELOG , selenium supports Firefox - 23. If supported, code that run in Firefox - 22 should also run in Firefox - 23 without any code change.
And how can i make the same code work for chrome?
I have found that the newest version of firefox routinely doens't work immediately well with Selenium. Check out this firefox support matrix on Github that someone made. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is stop Firefox from auto-updating and keep your selenium tests running for firefox newest version minus 1 or 2. Chrome tends to work out of the box for Selenium, sometimes the Beta channel has fixed some selenium issues, so try that if you have a particular issue (on the other hand it may introduce other bugs). So in the end you need to be constantly weary of browser updates and routinely checking how they are working with the current version of selenium.
Check out this guide on how to get Selenium working with rolled back versions of firefox:
http://inkhorn.ca/selenium-python-on-ubuntu-using-firefox/
It will also fix any errors that have to do with “version xul**.0 not defined in file libxul.so”
I'm trying to use selenium from python but I'm having a problem running it on a RHEL5.5 server. I don't seem to be able to really start firefox.
from selenium import webdriver
b = webdriver.Firefox()
On my laptop with ubuntu this works fine and it starts a brings up a firefox window. When I log in to the server with ssh I can run firefox from the command line and get it displayed on my laptop. It is clearly firefox from the server since it has the RHEL5.5 home page.
When I run the python script above on the server it (or run it in ipython) the script hangs at webdriver.Firefox()
I have also tried
from selenium import webdriver
fb = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
fb.native_events_enabled=True
b=webdriver.Firefox(fb)
Which also hangs on the final line there.
I'm using python2.7 installed in /opt/python2.7. In installed selenium with /opt/python2.7/pip-2.7.
I can see the firefox process on the server with top and it is using a lot of CPU. I can also see from /proc/#/environ that the DISPLAY is set to localhost:10.0 which seems right.
How can I get a browser started with selenium on RHEL5.5? How can I figure out why Firefox is not starting?
It looks like the problem I'm encountering is this selenium bug:
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2852
I used the fix described in comment #9 http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=2852#c9
That worked for me.
