Get browser version using selenium webdriver

Question

How would I get the browser version being used?

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox()
>>> print vers         


        

Answer 1

If driver.capabilities['version'] does not work for you, check the capabilities. The version number is there but it might be under a different key. For example I was getting a key error on Windows 10 when trying to access the version number with the version key.

To check capabilities:

print driver.capabilities

For me, this works on Chrome/Linux

driver.capabilities['version']

And this works on Chrome/Windows 10

driver.capabilities['browserVersion']
