Selenium is not calling the website - selenium

Question

I'm trying selenium for the first time. My code is as follows:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import selenium.webdriver.support.ui as ui
import selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions as EC
import os
import time
class expediaUnitTest():
def __init__(self):
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
options.add_argument('--ignore-ssl-errors')
dir_path=os.getcwd()
chromedriver=dir_path+"\chromedriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"]=chromedriver
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options,executable_path=chromedriver)
def timerPractice(self):
time.sleep(5)
def gotoexpedia(self):
self.driver.get("https://www.expedia.com/")
def teardown(self):
self.driver.close()
if __name__=="__main__":
obj=expediaUnitTest()
obj.gotoexpedia()
A new chromebrowser is called but it does not access the webpage. I get the errormessage:
AttributeError: 'expediaUnitTest' object has no attribute 'driver'
When i give the timePractise(), it works perfectly,as in the browser disappears after the given number of seconds. But it does not seem to be calling a function.
Ps: I'm following the online tutorial given here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZjucAn_JYk
He doesn't have the problem that I'm having.
Can someone please help?

Answer 1

You are missing self when creating the instance of the driver. So instead of
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options,executable_path=chromedriver)
it should be
self.driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options,executable_path=chromedriver)
(in the video they are doing it exactly that way)
