I am trying to run headless Chrome or Firefox in DigitalOcean and have tried alot of solutions but none seem to work.
The code works superb in my local system but in my DigitalOcean server it doesn't.
This is a test i am using to test headless Firefox
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
# print("open virtual display")
with Display():
print("open Firefox browser")
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.set_window_size(1120, 550)
url = 'http://arbspiper.com/'
browser.get(url)
title = browser.title
print(title)
browser.quit()
The error i get is
Traceback (most recent call last):

answer from Manoj Kengudelu's comment.
gekodriver has to be compatible with ther version of firefox you are using.
check out supported platforms table here
once you found the gekodriver you would like to use you can download it, make it executable and add it to path.
Thanks again: Manoj Kengudelu

When I run my code it crashes please help and this was made late at night so I may have missed something obv. Instead of launching chrome driver like my other programs Ive made it runs actual chrome. is there a fix?
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType
import time
# change 'ip:port' with your proxy's ip and port
proxy_ip_port = '95.217.168.246:8888'
proxy = Proxy()
proxy.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
proxy.http_proxy = proxy_ip_port
proxy.ssl_proxy = proxy_ip_port
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
proxy.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
# replace 'your_absolute_path' with your chrome binary absolute path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'C:\Users\andre\Desktop\Python dsicord bot\chromedriver',
desired_capabilities=capabilities)
driver.get('http://whatismyipaddress.com')
time.sleep(8)```

This error:
selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created:This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 93
is basically you do not have compatible version of browser and browser driver.
as of 29th-Aug-2021
Latest stable release: ChromeDriver 92.0.4515.107
and Google chrome browser version is Version 92.0.4515.159 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Download link for chromedriver, try to get 92.0, and that should help you past this issue.
The webdriver is opening the browser but not navigating to the specified URL, and is returning the following exception:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe')
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
so first check whether your chrome version is the same as your web driver version..otherwise, there might be an issue executing the code
#to check the chrome version:
go to help in google chrome then to about google chrome and you will find a version there
#install the specific version of web driver from URL("https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads")
and...
it should be fine !!!
I want to create a program in pythonista that can control the web browser. I know Selenium is the best for this but I have tried it on pythonista for my iOS iPhone and I get an error.
This is the code:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('http://www.yahoo.com')
Here is the error:
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to create a desired new resource e.g. logfile while initializing a new WebDriver and Web Client session.
As per the discussion Pythonista - Limitations due to iOS following are some of the limitations while using Pythonista :
No fork/exec for new processes. Impacts the subprocess module.
Due to missing fork, no full cleanup of process resources (memory, threads, file handles).
No file access outside of application directory.
No /dev/null and other special files.
Limited processing power of devices (compared to typical PC/Mac).
Process usually is stopped/killed after a while.
An simple example is as follows :
>>> import subprocess
>>> subprocess.call(["ls", "-l"])

What's wrong in your usecase
There can be 2 issues as follows :
When you invoke the following line of code :
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
The ChromeDriver tries to create/modify/access the scoped_directory within the file system. For example on Windows OS :
"chromedriverVersion": "2.35.528161 (5b82f2d2aae0ca24b877009200ced9065a772e73)",
"userDataDir": "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\scoped_dir5188_12717"
Possibly ChromeDriver is unable to perform this task/method/functionality.
Again when you invoke the following line of code :
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
As per selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver ChromeDriver tries to create a logfile within the file system as per the constructor as follows :
class selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver.WebDriver(executable_path='chromedriver', port=0, options=None, service_args=None, desired_capabilities=None, service_log_path=None, chrome_options=None)
Possibly ChromeDriver is unable to perform this task/method/functionality,
Due to the above mentioned reasons you are seeing the error :
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
Solution
Incase of any of the above mentioned cases the solution would be to restrict the access/creation of the resources within the application directory only.

Hi,
I'm trying to use selenium on my project. But I'm getting No such session error. when I use it with latest chrome driver. Also You can find error below.

This was happening to me. I found that downgrading my local version of Chrome to 53.0.2785.116 enabled testing to happen with Protractor (again). This is independent of the version specified in standalone.
Not a great solution (as this is your local version and it will wipe your browser history), but until the bug detailed below is addressed, the one that will allow local testing with Protractor and Chrome.
http://www.slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php
Apparently there is a know bug with web driver-manager that does not allow it to be updated to 2.24
https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/issues/93
Protractor itself has a config file so make sure the version you are using has chromedriver using version 2.23 at the very highest. I am using protractor 3.1.0 giving me
"webdriverVersions": {
"selenium": "2.53.1",
"chromedriver": "2.23",
"iedriver": "2.51.0"
}
Because of this bug your local Chrome version will be too far ahead of what the webdriver-manager can support or is expecting (in this case creating a session).
If the browser is brought to an older version of Chrome it will be necessary to prevent Google updates as Chrome will attempt to move to the most current version every time the browser is reopened.
I'm trying to run headless selenium and to get to grips with it I've set up a new droplet on Digital Ocean (Ubuntu 16).
I am following this tutorial but I'm getting the following error when I run the script.

What should I do? Thanks for your help.
Download the gecko driver from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/tag/v0.11.1
export PATH=$PATH:/loaction of the downloaded geckodriver
Run your Code.
If you get the following Exception
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Expected
browser binary location, but unable to find binary in default
location, no 'moz:firefoxOptions.binary' capability provided, and no
bina ry flag set on the command line
Kindly, check the geckodriver and firefox should be of either 32 or 64 bit
Otherwise. Provide the FirefoxBinary path in the code to the FirefoxDriver() using FireFoxBinary Object.
