Searching textbox from website using with Selenium python-CodePudding

Hi guys i am new on selenium i tried to search from website's textbox

There is my code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

import time

PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
s=Service(PATH)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
url='https://www.techwithtim.net/'
driver.get(url)
print(driver.title)
search=driver.find_element(by=By.NAME, value="s")
search.send_keys("test")
search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

time.sleep(5)
driver.close() #driver

The program is able to search, but it throws an error at the search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER) line and exits the code.

I can't give all error for you because of this website doesn't allow i don't know

so some of the error:


File "C:/Users/User/PycharmProjects/us1/selen.py", line 16, in <module>
    search.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

CodePudding user response：

You have to download chrome driver exe from below path as per installed chrome version and use the respective chrome driver. Selenium works on chromedriver.exe. You have to download the chrome driver exe and paste it in your computer and in path you have to give location of the chrome driver exe.

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.techwithtim.net/")

So I faced the same error on my desktop, turns out that this has something to do with version mismatch.

My chrome version was

Version 103.0.5060.66 (Official Build) (64-bit)

So I updated my chrome driver to version

103.0.5060.53

You can try updating your chrome and chrome driver accordingly.

If you are using Chrome version 104, please download ChromeDriver 104.0.5112.20
If you are using Chrome version 103, please download ChromeDriver 103.0.5060.53
If you are using Chrome version 102, please download ChromeDriver 102.0.5005.61

Chrome Driver download link

You can check your chrome version here chrome://settings/help

Once updated, the below code should work fine

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

chrome_path = r"C:\Users\hpoddar\Desktop\Tools\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe"
s = Service(chrome_path)
url = 'https://www.techwithtim.net/'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.get(url)
time.sleep(5)
driver.maximize_window()
search=driver.find_element(by=By.CLASS_NAME, value="search-field")
