I'm trying to find a way to implement:
- this code using python
- schedule a timed trigger
- select a tab on the google chrome
I've copied and pasted the solution into my python just to test it but seem to be getting a URL error below, can someone help me understand why a variable is facing a syntax error?
Here is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver import ChromeOptions
from Common_Methods.GenericMethods import *
import pyautogui #<== need this to click on extension
options = ChromeOptions()
#from stack overflow(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53172127/click-on-elements-in-chrome-extension-with-selenium?rq=1):
#options.add_argument("--load-extension=" + r"C:\Users\supputuri\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\fdpohaocaechififmbbbbbknoalclacl\5.1_0") #<== loading unpacked extension
options.add_argument("--load-extension=" + r"/Users/erikwayne/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 2/Extensions/fdpohaocaechififmbbbbbknoalclacl/6.5_0") #<== loading unpacked extension
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
executable_path=os.path.join(chrome_options=options)
url = "https://www.google.com/"
driver.get(url)
# get the extension box
extn = pyautogui.locateOnScreen(os.path.join(GenericMethods.get_full_path_to_folder('autogui_ref_snaps') + "/capture_full_screenshot.png"))
# click on extension
pyautogui.click(x=extn[0],y=extn[1],clicks=1,interval=0.0,button="left")
Here is my error message:

*Edit: Tried the modified code below from #RafalS, but had more error.
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=os.path.join(chrome_options=options))
url = "https://www.google.com/"
driver.get(url)
# get the extension box
extn = pyautogui.locateOnScreen(os.path.join(get_full_path_to_folder('downloads') + "/capture_full_screenshot.png"))
# click on extension
pyautogui.click(x=extn[0],y=extn[1],clicks=1,interval=0.0,button="left")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
close the parentheses
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
You'll also need to import os and replace
GenericMethods.get_full_path_to_folder
with
get_full_path_to_folder
since you did a star import:
from Common_Methods.GenericMethods import *
I did it and sorted it out by installing the chrome webdriver to a more accessible folder path, ignoring ospaths or GenericMethods altogether.
As for the driver = webdriver.Chrome issue, the original code was missing a comma between arguments, so I just filled in in.
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=os.path.join(r'/Users/USERNAME/Downloads/Testing chrome extension/chromedriver/chromedriver'), options=options)
It's hacked together but it works.

im working on a project and have this as code:
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
print(driver.current_url)
but i get an error and i dont know how to fix it, well mutle tracebacks to error i think, here is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

class Service(service.Service):
AttributeError: module 'selenium.webdriver.common.service' has no attribute 'Service'
Process finished with exit code 1
can anyone help?
I do it this way:
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-logging"])
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install())
This way it will automatically download the optimal ChromeDriver version on your cache and use it every time you need. Also the experimental part helps to avoid some error that might appear due to driver bugs
I am getting syntax errors. I tried this first:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(C:\Webdriver)
driver.get('http://www.google.com')
And got this:
File "C:/Users/donbr/PycharmProjects/Seleniumtes/Selenium Test.py", line 3
driver = webdriver.Chrome(C:\Webdriver)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
So I changed it to this because I thought it was asking me to take the C: out
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(\Webdriver)
driver.get('http://www.google.com')
just for it to say this:
File "C:/Users/donbr/PycharmProjects/Seleniumtes/Selenium Test.py", line 3
driver = webdriver.Chrome(\Webdriver)
^
SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character
What does that mean? Why is it pointing to the bracket like it isn't supposed to be there? How is that an unexpected character?
You would need to pass the complete path to chrome web driver as shown below.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(<complete path to chrome web driver executable>)
driver.get('http://www.google.com')

Any suggestion will be appreciated..
Thanks...
instead of chrome application try providing the chrome driver instead
more information on the site : https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/getting-started
Sample code :
import time
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver') # Optional argument, if not specified will search path.
driver.get('http://www.google.com/');
time.sleep(5) # Let the user actually see something!
search_box = driver.find_element_by_name('q')
search_box.send_keys('ChromeDriver')
search_box.submit()
time.sleep(5) # Let the user actually see something!
driver.quit()
Download the ChromeDriver binary for your platform under the downloads section of this site
reference link to download : chrome driver
This code should work (better to use firefox for selenium):
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
import wget
DesiredCapabilities.PHANTOMJS[
"phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent"
] = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20121026 Firefox/16.0"
if browser == "firefox":
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
else:
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(
CFG_phantomjs
) # r"D:/_devs/webserver/phantomjs-1.9.8/phantomjs.exe"
driver.get("https://tourwebsite")
username = driver.find_element_by_id("login_field")
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
username.clear()
The problem here in your codes is that you are passing chrome executable path rather than passing the path to chromedriver which is a different executable.
An appropriate version of chromedriver can be downloaded from here according to your Chrome version.
For more info, you can refer to the chromedriver documentation here.
And your final code should be something like:
from selenium import webdriver
path = 'C:/Users/Avinash/Downloads/chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(path)
driver.get('http://www.google.com/');
#..here what ever you want to do with page here
driver.quit()
I am using selenium-wire to click a button using Chrome browser. Up until today, my code worked fine. However, now I get the following error and I am not sure why:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using python 2.7.16; selenium-wire 1.0.4.
from seleniumwire import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import ElementClickInterceptedException,NoSuchElementException
import logging
def scrape_website(url):
# Configure browser driver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--headless')
#Instantiate driver and navigate to URL
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get(url)
Am I missing something here?
Can't see anything wrong with your code :)
But selenium-wire 1.0.4 requires Python 3.4+.

You need to provide path:
from selenium import webdriver
ff_profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
browser = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=ff_profile)
Please check if it works for You (it does for me, whereas without path i get same error as You do).
Your selenium version is quite old.
You have to install the latest version 2.53, it should solve your problem.
Remember to introduce selenium and firefox in your system path then you can use this code, some times depend of the Firefox version that you have you will need install the gekodriver too
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("YOUR_URL")
If you didn't introduce them in the system path you can use this other code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
binary = FirefoxBinary("C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe")#path of Firefox.exe
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)
driver.get("YOUR_URL")
You need to import the correct modules. Don't forget to call them. Check my example below:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get("Insert URL here")
Run that and it should work. Let me know if it doesn't.
