Python - Selenium in Ubuntu OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory

Question

After installing Selenium in Ubuntu and adding geckodriver to path I get this error when I run

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
         


        

Answer 1

In addition to the answer by @Poloq, the simplest way would be keeping your geckodriver binary in a directory which is already in your PATH.

mv geckodriver /usr/local/bin

This way you can avoid additional settings/configurations in your project with the downside of having an additional step when deploying on different systems.
