Having some strangeness go on.

When I run nosetests Chrome browser pops up. It stays on a blank page for a bit, then finally runs the test_login and test_feature then quits.
All 3 tests pass (got Ran 3 tests in CLI with an OK), but only 1 is visually shown. Two of the three ran in a headless type mode while the page was blank for a bit.
How can I have it run all tests from start to finish without headless? (And if I wanted to, how can i run them both headless?)
I also notice that if I keep adding tests, it always will run N-1 tests headless (one will be ran visually)
So this made me laugh. The reason is because there are multiple Chrome windows stacked on top of each other. It is running in parallel not sequentially.

So I'm trying to scrape some forecasting data from a website periodically, and ideally I would like for it to happen in the background. I had a look at some documentation and came up with the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options)
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.windguru.cz/53')
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#forecasts-page")))
\#Scraping block of code goes here
driver.quit()
I think the following line is over-riding the --headless argument but i'm not sure.
WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "#forecasts-page")))
The reason I have it added in the first place is that the website I'm scraping isn't just static html (have a look for yourself, link is in code). I think there's some js that prompts the forecast data to load, so I need to wait a bit and make sure before the script starts scraping the dom.
Any idea how I can achieve this and run the browser in headless mode?
The line that's opening the chrome is this
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
You can do away with this and code should still work the same.
Trying to run selenium script with targeted chrome profile. But once I run the script, it won't start with the targeted profile but with a new profile. Here's my code:
# import selenium common driver
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
# for specified chrome profile
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
# wait page until targeted element loaded
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
# undetectable module
import undetected_chromedriver.v2 as uc # use pip install undetected-chromedriver
if __name__ == '__main__':
options = uc.ChromeOptions()
# another way to set profile is the below (which takes precedence if both variants are used
options.add_argument(r'--user-data-dir=C:\Users\Fadli\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Profile 4')
# just some options passing in to skip annoying popups
options.add_argument(r'--no-first-run --no-service-autorun --password-store=basic')
driver = uc.Chrome(options=options) # version_main allows to specify your chrome version instead of following chrome global version
driver.get('https://nowsecure.nl')
Try the below line if it help
# another way to set profile is the below (which takes precedence if both variants are used
options.add_argument(r'--user-data-dir=C:\Users\Fadli\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data')
options.add_argument(r'--profile-directory=Profile 4')

Is there a command to run selenium tests without using a framework? e.g. pytest foo_test.py
What would be required on my local machine in order to run the following test? I am confused as this appears the only requirement would be chromedriver but I don't know which command to use in order to execute the actual test.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
capa = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
capa["pageLoadStrategy"] = "none"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capa)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#h-top-questions')))
driver.execute_script("window.stop();")
Here is the Answer to your Question:
As you have asked Is there a command to run selenium tests without using a framework, the Answer is Yes.
To answer in simple words, there exists certain frameworks like pytest, unittest, etc in python to structure your test execution and interpreting the test results. Each of the frameworks have their own strengths. When the code base becomes bulky frameworks helps us to arrange. But using framework is not mandatory.
About your code, I don't see any significant error in your code but working with Selenium 3.x.x you need to download the chromedriver from here and save it in your machine. While you initialize the WebDriver instance you need to mention the absolute path of the chromedriver as below.
Here is your own code with some simple tweaks which works well at my end:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
capa = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
capa["pageLoadStrategy"] = "none"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capa,executable_path="C:\\your_directory\\chromedriver.exe")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get('http://stackoverflow.com/')
wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '#h-top-questions')))
driver.execute_script("window.stop();")
Let me know if this Answers your Question.
There are actual 2 requirements that you are using. Selenium itself is a requirement, and then the chromedriver as you mentioned. The file is just a python file, so you can run it by doing python foo_test.py. There is also the option to use a framework like Unittest, which can be useful for seeing test results.
Selenium itself is not a "testing framework", it is a library of commands that allow a user to interact with a web browser. Selenium can be used for webscraping or automating tasks as well as testing purposes.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04, Firefox 49.0.2, Python 3.4.3 & Selenium 3.0.1
I want to use Selenium to automate some browser functions, not to do any web site testing. How can I can I modify the simple login script below to use the instance of Firefox running on my desktop instead of opening a new Firefox window?
# login_yahoo_mail.py
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://mail.yahoo.com/?.intl=us')
enter_email = driver.find_element_by_id('login-username')
enter_email.clear()
enter_email.send_keys('cleanman2#yahoo.com')
next_button = driver.find_element_by_id('login-signin')
next_button.click()
enter_password = WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, 'login-passwd')))
enter_password.send_keys('dumba$$yahoo!^!&')
signin_button = driver.find_element_by_id('login-signin')
signin_button.click()
Thanks, Jim
It is possible with 'Selenium 4'.
Each window has a unique identifier which remains persistent in a single session. You can get the window handle of the current window by using:
driver.current_window_handle
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
# Store the ID of the original window
original_window = driver.current_window_handle
# Opens a new tab and switches to new tab
driver.switch_to.new_window('tab')
# Opens a new window and switches to new window
driver.switch_to.new_window('window')
#Close the tab or window
driver.close()
#Switch back to the old tab or window
driver.switch_to.window(original_window)
I haven't try it yet but since Webdriver doesn't know where the OS focus is, you can find the way you want with those options.

I know you can run Selenium headless alongside WebDriver, but is there a way to do so with the service? I'm trying the following and it just opens the browser normally, seemingly ignoring Xvfb. This is on a Mac if that happens to matter.
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
import selenium.webdriver as webdriver;
import selenium.webdriver.chrome.service as service
# ...
self.display = Display(visible=0, size=(1024, 768))
self.display.start()
self.service = service.Service('/path/to/chromedriver');
self.service.start();
# Various Chrome option stuff clipped
browser = webdriver.Remote(self.service.service_url, desired_capabilities=options.to_capabilities());
Fyi -- not a real solution, but for the time being, I'm using Chrome's window-size and window-position flags to keep selenium out of the way e.g.,
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions();
options.add_argument('--window-size=100,100')
options.add_argument('--window-position=100,1200')
browser = webdriver.Remote(service_url, desired_capabilities=options.to_capabilities())
Maybe, this is what you want: generalredneck/headless-selenium
