I tried selenium in Python to open a Google page, however, instead of loading the page, the Firefox browser keeps telling me the Accessibility issue. I followed the instruction to change the settings but can not find it!
Besides, I found a solution to a similar problem - Webdriver.get(url) open Firefox but not the URL, but after I linked geckodriver, the Accessibility problem is till there.
Could someone please help? Tens of Thanks in advance!!!!!
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'path\geckodriver.exe')
driver.get('http://www.google/com')
Screenshot - Accessibility issue
Screenshot - Firefox instruction
Screenshot - Can not find the setting

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
How to use normal chrome completely without chromedriver selenium python not duplicate.
I am using python 3.8.8,os is windows 7 ultimate with pycharm as
IDE and chrome version is around 96. and my problem is that whenever I use my python script to scrape a website it uses chromedriver and when I specify what's given below:
options = Options ()
options.add_argument(r"user-data-dir=my chrome path which is not Executable instead the user data")
#this works but when opening chrome it shows "browser is controlled by automated software" and changing it to normal chrome. Exe won't work
Sure it uses normal chrome with my credentials but it still needs chromedriver to work and when I delete the chromedriver it throw an error and when I go into selenium source code in a file called site.py(or sites.py) which I changed the variable self. executable to chrome.exe path and it worked and it won't show the message browser is controlled by automated software but it won't do anything , it is just stuck there and what I want to do is use chrome as the browser to scrape without chromedriver in my pc is it possible? If yes please tell me how should I go on to do it and you can ask for further Clarification and details and Thanks in advance
By default, selenium is detected as an automated software and is flagged by most websites, and the flag is unable to be removed. There are, however, external libraries that can be installed that can remove the flag.
There are options here to try to get around the default flag and hide the fact the browser is automated.
Edit
I understand the question further, and see that you want a more portable chrome option. Chrome driver is a very specific program controlled by selenium and must be used. There is no substitute. You can use Firefox driver or internet explorer, but a webdriver must be used (hence the name driver for driving the main browser). When you specify the directory for the Chrome binary, you aren’t removing the middleman of the chromedriver, only Specifying where chrome driver needs to look!
Using Selenium you won't be able to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. Chrome Browser session without the ChromeDriver.
The Parts and Pieces
As a minimum requirement, the WebDriver i.e the ChromeDriver talks to a browser through a driver and the communication is two way:
WebDriver passes commands to the browser through the driver
Receives information back via the same route.
Hence using ChromeDriver is a mandatory requirement.
I am trying to run selenium by running the below two lines of code after giving the path to chromedriver..
from selenium import webdriver
driver=webdriver.Chrome("C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/chromedriver")
But its not working and displaying the below error.
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1
Can you please tell how to fix it ?
Check your chrome brower version and download chromedriver accordingly from below url https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r" path of chromedriver.exe")
browser.get('your url')
i think you are missing some libraries, i had a similar problem when i was trying stuff with selenium. try installing the chromium driver as well cause it might have the libraries you need, even if you don't want to use chromium
I am using selenium-2.35.0 and Python-2.7.
Testcases are written in python.
my python code to create driver object:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Remote(desired_capabilities={
"browserName": "firefox"
})
And run selenium server by,
java - jar selenium-server-standalone-2.35.0.jar
I had my code working in Firefox - 22 - had the selenium server running, able to run scripts in python, etc. So I'm confident the code works.
Recently, I updated FireFox to 23 and now all I get is
"[Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
I thought maybe I need to restart the server again, or something. But that seems to do nothing. Is this issue related to selenium webdriver's support for the latest browser version?
But as of this link http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/java/CHANGELOG , selenium supports Firefox - 23. If supported, code that run in Firefox - 22 should also run in Firefox - 23 without any code change.
And how can i make the same code work for chrome?
I have found that the newest version of firefox routinely doens't work immediately well with Selenium. Check out this firefox support matrix on Github that someone made. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is stop Firefox from auto-updating and keep your selenium tests running for firefox newest version minus 1 or 2. Chrome tends to work out of the box for Selenium, sometimes the Beta channel has fixed some selenium issues, so try that if you have a particular issue (on the other hand it may introduce other bugs). So in the end you need to be constantly weary of browser updates and routinely checking how they are working with the current version of selenium.
Check out this guide on how to get Selenium working with rolled back versions of firefox:
http://inkhorn.ca/selenium-python-on-ubuntu-using-firefox/
It will also fix any errors that have to do with “version xul**.0 not defined in file libxul.so”
I am using selenium 2 (WebDriver) now and I would like to get the control of current opened browser window instead of open a new one. That means I can't use driver.get("url") which is showed in all online documents. Could anyone help?
FYI, I am using Python binding of selenium and firefox. Thanks.
Unfortunately you can't connect to an open browser at the moment. There is an open bug for WebDriver to support that
