How to use selenium on Repl.it?

Time:02-22

I am trying to use Selenium in Repl but for some reason it does not seem to work is there a way I can fix this?

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")

views = driver.find_element_by_class("view-count style-scope ytd-video-view-count-renderer")
print(views)

Here are the two errors I seem to be getting.

Traceback (most recent call last):

CodePudding user response:

You need to go to replit.nix , click on hidden files and you are going to see it, you need to import pkgs.chromium and pkgs.chromedriver into deps

{ pkgs }: {
deps = [
    pkgs.python38Full
    pkgs.chromium
    pkgs.chromedriver
];
