I have written a code that will run selenium using chromewebdriver. now i need to convert the code so that it will run msedgedriver. can someone send the code which is converted so that it will run on msedge driver and tell me how did they do it so that i can write the code the same way in future.
here is my code:

If you're using Selenium 4, you only need to change Chrome related code to Edge related. The edited lines of code are below:
from selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager
options = webdriver.EdgeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Edge(service=Service(EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install()), options=options)
If you want to learn more about Edge WebDriver automation, you can refer to this doc: Use WebDriver to automate Microsoft Edge.
I got a dataframe that contains links to google reviews of two restaurants. I wanted to load all reviews of two restaurants (one by one) into the browser and then save them into a new data frame. I wrote a script that reads and load all reviews into the browser as follow:

The problem is that script throws an error when it reaches the following line.
driver.execute_script('arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);', all_reviews[-1])
It throws following error:
StaleElementReferenceException: Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
(Session info: chrome=95.0.4638.69)
When I tried the same program without storing google links in dataframe (i.e. no for loop and instead of base_url = i['Link'], I wrote base_url = google review link) it works fine.
I am not sure where I am making the mistake. Any suggestion or help to fix the issue would be highly appreciated?
EDIT
you put the creation of driver outside the for loop
you cant launch the new url with gps data when the first popup is always in front, if you launch it, it stays in backdoor, the easier way is to launch a new url without gps data -> https:ww.google.com and wait 3 dec before to follow your loop:
your count is not good, i have changed your selector and change the total and set some lines in comment

it seems the solution for chrome needs some fixes:
org.openqa.selenium.StaleElementReferenceException: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
The literal meaning is about , The referenced element is out of date , No longer attached to the current page . Usually , This is because the page has been refreshed or skipped , The solution is , Reuse findElement or findElements Method to locate the element .
so its seems for chrome there is a problem of refreshing, so i suggest to load the number of record before to scroll, to have a fresh copy of DOM items, and i have to add a wait 1sec at the end of while loop

I am a beginner in Python-Selenium scraping. I want to scrape permalink of all the Quora answers posted under a question. So far I have created the following code snippet. But when I run it, it gives me only one link in the output. This is due to the fact that the page isn't loaded fully I guess. What should I do to get at least 100 permalinks to answers from the page source?

My intention is to get the name, location, time of posting, title of the review and the whole review content from the web page (http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061).
My code :
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
firefox_capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX
firefox_capabilities['marionette'] = True
firefox_capabilities['binary'] = '/etc/firefox'
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
driver.get('http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061')
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for link in soup.select(".profile"):
try:
profile = link.select("p:nth-of-type(1) a")[0]
profile1 = link.select("p:nth-of-type(2)")[0]
except:pass
print(profile.text,profile1.text)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
driver.get('http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061')
soup1 = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for link in soup1.select(".col-10.review"):
try:
profile2 = link.select("small:nth-of-type(1)")[0]
profile3 = link.select("span:nth-of-type(3)")[0]
profile4 = link.select("a:nth-of-type(1)")[0]
except:pass
print(profile2.text,profile3.text,profile4.text)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=firefox_capabilities)
driver.get('http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061')
soup2 = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for link in soup2.select(".more.review"):
try:
containers=page_soup.findAll("div",{"class":"more reviewdata"})
count=len(containers)
for index in range(count):
count1=len(containers[index].p)
for i in range(count1):
profile5 = link.select("p:nth-of-type(i)")[0]
except:pass
print(profile5.text)
driver.quit()
I am getting the output for name, location, time and title of the review but I am unable to get the full review of a user. I would be grateful, if anyone could help me in getting the output for the same, along with the optimization of my code (i.e) I want my code to extract the required data by loading the web page only once. Also, It would be very helpful for me if someone could help me in extracting all the customer reviews of Jio from all the webpages of the website.
You can achieve the same with few lines of code along with lesser pain. However, I've defined here three main categories, as in name, review_title, review_data and the rest of the fields you can twitch very easily.
This is how you can do alternatively:
from selenium import webdriver;import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
for item in wait.until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".review-article"))):
link = item.find_element_by_css_selector(".reviewdata a")
link.click()
time.sleep(2)
name = item.find_element_by_css_selector("p a").text
review_title = item.find_element_by_css_selector("strong a[id^=ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderFooter_ContentPlaceHolderBody_rptreviews]").text
review_data = ' '.join([' '.join(items.text.split()) for items in item.find_elements_by_css_selector(".reviewdata")])
print("Name: {}\nReview_Title: {}\nReview_Data: {}\n".format(name, review_title, review_data))
driver.quit()
Or to do the same combinedly (selenium + bs4):
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver;import time
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/Reliance-Jio-reviews-925812061")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
for items in wait.until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".review-article"))):
link = items.find_element_by_css_selector(".reviewdata a")
link.click()
time.sleep(2)
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source,"lxml")
for item in soup.select(".review-article"):
name = item.select("p a")[0].text
review_title = item.select("strong a[id^=ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderFooter_ContentPlaceHolderBody_rptreviews]")[0].text
review_data = ' '.join([' '.join(items.text.split()) for items in item.select(".reviewdata")])
print("Name: {}\nReview_Title: {}\nReview_Data: {}\n".format(name, review_title, review_data))
driver.quit()
