I have a Django web app hosted in IIS with a function using selenium that automates the transfer of data from another application. It runs when I run it on my localhost, however with IIS it doesn't even pull up the browser.
I pasted the code that pulls up a website I need:
from selenium import webdriver
def transfer(request):
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('http://localhost/virtus#scorecard/rateteammember')
browser.set_page_load_timeout(10)
I am using windows 10 and IIS version 10.0.15063.0
I am also using ChromeDriver version 2.42.591088 that says 'Only local connections are allowed' which I think is the source of the problem.
Can someone please advise what to do next.

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 am using the Heroku Chrome buildpack and am wondering what version it is running. I am trying to use it with a webpage but the webpage tells me I can't use it because the site needs chrome version 60 or above.
However the chromedriver used with it is version 103 something.
Is there some update that needs to happen or is the code not going to work?
To start with you need to manually spin-off the google-chrome browser and accessing chrome://settings/help you need to check the browser version as follows and update the browser version if required:
Once your program successfully initiates the Google Chrome browsing context you can extract the browser version on the run, programatically.
[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.
I have a scraping script which uses selenium.
Is there any way to deploy it under IBM Bluemix?
P.S. as i see the main problem is launching webdriver browser in a web application.
I am experiencing a very strange behaviour when testing Chrome via selenium webdriver.
Instead of navigating to pages like one would expect the 'get' command leads only to the download of tiny files (no type or.apsx files) from the target site.
Importantly - this behavior only occurs when I pass chrome_options as an argument
to the Chrome driver.
The same testing scripts work flawless with firefox driver.
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options # tried with and without
proxy = '127.0.0.1:9951' # connects to a proxy application
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % proxy)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get('whatismyip.com')
Leads to the automatic download of a file called download (no file extension, Size 2 Byte).
While calling other sites results in the download of small aspx files.
This all happens while the browser page remains blank and no interaction with
elements happen = the site is not loaded at all.
No error message, except element not found is thrown.
This is really strange.
Additional info:
I run Debian Wheezy 32 bit and use Python 2.7.
Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
I tried your code and captured the traffic on localhost using an SOCKS v5 proxy through SSH. It is definitely sending data through the proxy but no data is coming back. I have confirmed the proxy was working using Firefox.
I'm running Google Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit. My Chrome browser gives me the following message when I try to configure a proxy in its settings menu:
When running Google Chrome under a supported desktop environment, the
system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not
supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.
But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man
google-chrome-stable for more information on flags and environment
variables.
Unfortunately I don't have a man page for google-chrome-stable.
I also discovered that according to the selenium documentation Chrome is using the system wide proxy settings and according to their documentation it is unknown how to set the proxy in Chrome programmatically: http://docs.seleniumhq.org/docs/04_webdriver_advanced.jsp#using-a-proxy
