Selenium Opens Browser But Doesn't Load Page

This is an extension from a previous post which I could not get to work, but I am now getting a new error after updating Selenium. I am using Python 3.5, Windows 8.1, and Selenium

Solution 1:

I did not add geckodriver to PATH (it is located in the same directory as Python script), and after the Selenium update to 3.0.1, use this code to start a Selenium session:

gecko = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'geckodriver'))
binary = FirefoxBinary(r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe')
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary, executable_path=gecko+'.exe')

Additionally: you need update geckodriver to the latest version, 0.11.1.

Solution 2:

I got the same problem with my Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) installation and fixed it with the terminal using this line:

sudo apt-get install firefox-geckodriver

You can do the same with a macOS machine:

brew install geckodriver

Solution 3:

You need to set full path to executable geckodriver as mentioned below:

self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path = 'D:\Selenium_RiponAlWasim\geckodriver-v0.18.0-win64\geckodriver.exe')

Download geckodriver for you suitable OS → extract it in a folder of your choice → set the path correctly.

I'm using Python 3.6.2 and Selenium WebDriver 3.4.3.

Solution 4:

For Windows 10, download gechodriver. And extract it on like below. Customize it for yourself. My username is yasin in Windows 10.

Solution 5:

For Mac users: This problem (as well as the Notarization issues with geckodriver) can be avoided by installing the software via Homebrew.
