I have the most up to date firefox browser and selenium installed.
I tried running the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
...and received the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have downloaded geckodriver and specified the location in PATH (and then restarted my laptop). Did the same for firefox. It made no difference.
What should I do?
This line of code solves the problem for me
driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="c:/drivers/geckodriver.exe")

I've been trying to start selenium with Firefox with python but if I understand the Error message correctly it can't find the file. I've tried to find an answer to this, but every "answer" I find is on another operating system and doesn't have to do with my problem.
I have Firefox installed and Selenium.
In the shell I enter:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
and it returns:

I installed selenium on Amazon Linux AMI. I try to use python to activate it.
The error show up. I do not know what is supposed to mean. Can chrome webdriver run on that environment.
My code
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/home/ec2-user/dlfjj/bin/chromedriver")
Error

Hi I have tried to run the code which is used to open a browser, enter URL and close the browser(https://splinter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) using SPLINTER in python. The sample code in the above URL is what I tried.
I got the following errors:

Could you let me know what I need to configure to avoid these errors ?
I am using Python 3.6.1
Firefox Version - 52
SPLINTER version 0.7.5
I have solved this problem. You must add PATH the location of geckodriver and webdriver.
You can download geckodriver(https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases) here.
good luck
I'm getting an error when trying to capture a screenshot of a webpage in Python 3.6. Tried following other posts where the same question was posed, but none of it helped. Please guide as in where I'm going wrong. Thanks.
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.python.org/')
driver.save_screenshot('python_org.png')
driver.quit()
Error:

So I'm trying to run Selenium on my raspberry pi using Chromium and for some reason I can't get my python file to compile. I keep getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 4, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome(os.path.expanduser('/usr/bin/chromedriver.exe'))
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium-2.46.0-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 62, in __init__
self.service.start()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium-2.46.0-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/chrome/service.py", line 75, in start
os.path.basename(self.path), docs_msg)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home
Here is the python code I'm trying to run:
from selenium import webdriver
import os
driver = webdriver.Chrome(os.path.expanduser('/usr/bin/chromedriver'))
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
driver.quit()
Any ideas?
Update
After removing the '.exe' at the end of chromedriver, it now produces the following error:

Ubuntu has builds of chromium-chromedriver as .deb files for armhf.
On launchpad, therefore, you can find chromium-chromedriver armhf builds available for download. Just download the latest version, and since they have no dependencies, you can install by running dpkg -i chromium-chromedriver_58.0.3029.96-0ubuntu0.14.04.1174_armhf.deb. Then chromedriver will be available in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver.
At the moment Chrome Driver dont support ARM processors architecture anymore.
