I'm wondering if it is possible to use Selenium to write to the Chrome console with python. I do not mean by using send_keys to press F12 and open the console then send more keys to write. If this isn't possible, are they any libraries or APIs that would let me do this? Thanks!
You can look at the problem with another view, try to use browser.execute_script and pass console.log("whatever you want to write in the console") , this will print that sentence in the console
You can of course change it to your own needs but you get the idea

I wannted to dig deeper in automation but didnt find anything about gettin information from any Executable.
What i want is to start an exe via Python so python can watch what happens when i press a button or do smt else in that external Programm. And with that given data i want to automate the external Programm and give it the Data to press the button it self.
Like silenium, where i know the code and can directly interact with it.
Is there any way to do so?
I was looking for that type of automation. And landed somewhere where u can use subprocess but couldnt find a way to give me that what i want to do or i just didnt get it right.
If I had a print() statement, for example:
print('https://www.google.com')
Is there a way to make a link clickable? And would the same apply for a file path, like this:
print('path/to/file')
What I need is a way to print a link/path to a terminal and then to be able to open it by clicking on it. Is this possible? If yes, how?
Python itself has nothing to do with this behavior- its functionality provided by your terminal emulator.
However, you can open a link programmatically in the browser within python using the builtin webbrowser module, for instance:
from webbrowser import open_new_tab
open_new_tab("https://www.google.com")
In some scenarios, this may be sufficient.
I want to click on the button to close the message that is being written.
I try with this code, but it does not work for me:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#type="Cerrar"]').click()
Can you help me? Thanks very much.
You need to click this element: //img[#alt="Close"]
So, the Selenium python command to do this is
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//img[#alt="Close"]').click()
unless your code needs to use selenium i think that pyautogui would be better for this. it can move your mouse to a specific coordinate or look for the close button and then click it
import pyautogui
pyautogui.moveTo(x=(your x), y=(your y))
pyautogui.click()
i dont know much about selenium so im sorry i cant use that to help you but i hope this helps.
The built-in method close:
The close() method is used to close the current browser window on which the focus is set, on the other hand, the quit() method essentially calls the driver. dispose of a method that successively closes all the browser windows and ends the WebDriver session graciously.
You want to use click when interacting with elements
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[#type="Cerrar"]').click()
If that doesn't work, please share the HTML code.
So, with python i've seen that you can open a website using the code
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open("http://www.example.com", new=2)
but i really want to know how you could close the same specific tab using python.
If you can help please do. Thank you.
webbrowser module has no methods to close browser's tabs
I don't think you can. You might wanna try Selenium though.
How to open and close a website using default browser with python
I want to open a page and grab the screen and obtain its mean color with PIL. I want to open about 100 pages so I thought a screen capture script with Python would be useful. I found several of them and I decided to use this simple one:
"""
A simple screen grabbing utility
#author Fabio Varesano -
#date 2009-03-17
"""
from PIL import ImageGrab
import time
time.sleep(5)
ImageGrab.grab().save("screen_capture.jpg", "JPEG")
But I need to run this from Command Prompt which then shows on the screen. How do I make this into a script so that I can call it programmatically? Or, what do you think is the best way to achieve this? Thanks!
You can use Selenium and any browser:
Take a screenshot with Selenium WebDriver
This is cross-platform, works on every browser.
Selenium is designed for functional web browser testing, but is suitable also for use cases like yours. More info about Python + Selenium:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium
The benefit of Selenium is that you have fine-tuned control of the browser - you can click buttons, execute Javascript, whatever you wish and the browser is no longer a black box.
This solution seems to do exactly what you want by bringing the browser to the foreground before performing the screen grab. Just replace 'firefox' with 'chrome'
