How to launch the python selenium script on Ubuntu?

Time:10-10

I'm trying to launch it after xvfb-run firefox but it returns me these mistakes. When I try to launch it with python3 command it returns me NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/home/druid/.wdm/drivers/geckodriver/linux64/v0.31.0/geckodriver'

Here's a piece of my code: import time

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

def main():
    #options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
    #options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install())

CodePudding user response:

First try this and try to run you code again,

sudo apt-get install firefox-geckodriver

If that doesn't work.

You can try to download the gecko driver manually. Then change the directory to the location of where you downloaded it to. Download from here, https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases unzip. Then change your code to this,

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.wait import WebDriverWait
from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

def main():
    options = webdriver.FirefoxOptions()
    #options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
    options.add_argument("--headless")

    driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='/home/druid/path/to/geckodriver', options=options)

Your executable path is where you placed the geckodriver executable.
