I hope this is something simple, it feels like it. But it is beyond me at the moment.
I am a new starter with Selenium, I want to automatically extract information from a website and this seems a good method.
For a change I have started doing this on Windows 10 and I want program in Python so I am using PyCharm. I have installed Selenium using pip install selenium and if I use the python command line shell with the following:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
I get the following error message:

When I type the same within PyCharm the IDE tells me that this term webdriver.Fiefox results in Firefox is not callable
Have I failed to install something?

Not meant as a silly reaction, but do you have the latest version of Firefox installed on your machine?

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')

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.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 !!!

Please share the stacktrace.
To me it seems,
Either your value='2588 is a dynamic one and changing with every instance load.
May be the sleep halts the whole process. Why don't you use wait, an example mentioned below.
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID,'someid')))
It is probably because in debug mode, it has more time to find the element. Try to increase sleep time or other solution to make sure the element is loaded.

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.
Traceback (most recent call last):

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.
