Install WebDriver Chrome or Firefox for Selenium for automated testing web application

on

 Chrome

  python3 pip3 install selenium
 
 
from selenium import webdriver 
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service 
import Service 
s = Service('path_to_driver') 
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)

 

Firefox


Installation for automated testing


sudo apt-get update


apt-get install -y unzip openjdk-8-jre-headless xvfb libxi6 libgconf-2-4

apt-get install firefox

Pip install selenium

Sometimes you can get some exceptions

Selenium “Unable to find a matching set of capabilities” despite driver being in /usr/local/bin

Or

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities




Updating Firefox and Selenium solved it for me. I don't pretend to have an explanation for the root cause however.


Updated Firefox 48 → 53


Updated to Selenium 3.4.1




https://pypi.org/project/selenium/

https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads  



Expected browser binary location, but unable to find binary in default location, no 'moz:firefoxOptions.binary' capability provided, and no binary flag set on the command line


Firefox browser has installed?


apt-get install firefox
