I am attempting to automate a web browser using the environment below:
Windows10, Selenium (v3.141.0), Python (v3.7.4) chrome (v77.0.3865.90), and chromedriver (v77.0.3865.40). I installed pip, installed Selenium(using Python), set my paths in the environmental variables, called out the path to my chromedriver, and I still am running into issues.
-path using for chromedriver: "C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe"
-path to Python: "C:\Users\linds\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37"
I have some code that I ran below with errors. Any ideas?
>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
>>> options = Options()
>>> options.add_argument('--headless')
>>> options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
>>> options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
>>> driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path='C:\webdrivers\chromedriver.exe')

You can use webdriver_manager to directly download and launch the driver without providing the path.
You can install by using webdriver_manager by using pip3 install webdriver_manager
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get("Your URL")

Set chrome driver capabilities and path before launching the driver.
More details here : https://chromedriver.chromium.org/capabilities
Try this approach. No need to maintain chromedriver in your project folder. Just 2 lines of code. Refer here webdriver-manager
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
options = Options()
options.headless = False
cap = DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX``
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp, options=options,capabilities=cap)
When attempting to run Selenium Webdriver tests with IE, the browser will launch but immediately crash with the error "Command line server for the IE driver has stopped working".
The scripts where IE fails run just fine in Chrome and Firefox.
Windows 10 IE 11.15.16299.0
Python 3.6.3 (tried with Python 2.7.14)
32-bit IEDriverServer.exe version 3.5.0.0
I followed the setup instructions at
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver
Here's what Python reports:

ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
The simplest test causes the failure:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Ie()
driver.set_page_load_timeout(30)
driver.get('https://google.com')
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
I had the similar problem yesterday:
At first I tried to run with 64-bit IEDriverServer.exe version 3.9.0.0 and also had ConnectionResetError: [WinError 10054]
And then I download 32-bit IEDriverServer 3.9 from here https://www.seleniumhq.org/download/
And my script now is working and IE runs good (even without setting "executable_path" (added to PATH) and time sleeping):
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
#driver = webdriver.Ie(executable_path="C:\\webdrivers\\IEDriverServer.exe")
driver = webdriver.Ie()
#driver.set_script_timeout(5.0)
#time.sleep(3)
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
time.sleep(5)
driver.close()
Maybe, you need update version of IEDriverServer to 3.9
And my python version is higher 3.6.5
Also I added both register keys (for 32-bit and 64-bit path) as mentioned in the setup instruction:
https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver#required-configuration
I hope this will help...
I had a similar problem but I am using c# had a read here https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/6085 and this solved my problem You might need to read through the discussion
driver.FindElement(By.XPath("(//input[#id='Submit'])[2]")).Click();
My understanding is in IE the above syntax is not working but you might want to use this instead
IWebElement submit = driver.FindElement(By.XPath("(//input[#id='Submit'])[2]"));
OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions buildersub = new OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions(driver);
OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions.Actions hoverClicksub = buildersub.MoveToElement(submit).MoveByOffset(5, 5).Click();
hoverClicksub.Build().Perform();
I am running Python 2.7 under Ubuntu 14.04 environment. Usually my selenium works great and I used to code with that. My PC have never been touched for 4 months and I come back to code and find this error. Not sure what should I do.
The code is extremely simple:
from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

import sys
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
driver1 = webdriver.Firefox()
driver1.get("https://www.google.com")
And it brought up this error:

Thanks a lot! This really confused me.
My selenium is 2.53.1
You could try to specify the path to your webdriver's exe like this :
driver1 = webdriver.Chrome('{path to your driver parent folder}/chromedriver.exe')
I'm getting the following error from selenium:

I am calling it with code:
from contextlib import closing
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome # pip install selenium
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
browser = Chrome()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
time.sleep(1)
print browser.title
browser.quit()
I have evidently done something to my laptop because this used to work. Any thoughts

I've tried updating chromedriver but I'm now getting

This seems to indicate I'm still not using the latest version. I've followed a couple of guides about installation and I'm getting the same result. Any thoughts
Chromedriver was apparently updated on 2016-10-22, after which I also encountered this problem. Updating to the new version of Chromedriver (2.25) fixed it for me.
