Python + WebDriver — No browser launched while using unittest module

Question

Could you please help me with the next. I found out the issue and could not resolve it. When I am using next code, the browser has started and the test has passed:

Answer 1

While working through Python's unittest module with Selenium you have to consider a few facts as follows :

• While you pass the Key executable_path provide the Value through single quotes along with the raw r switch.
• While you define the @Tests name the tests starting with test e.g. def test_NoLorem(self):
• While you invoke get() ensure you are passing a valid url e.g. http://www.python.org
• While you invoke the quit() method within def tearDown(self): invoke the method through the WebDriver instance as self.driver.quit().
• If you are using unittest module you have to call the Tests through if __name__ == "__main__":

• Here is your own code with the required minor modifications :

  import unittest
  from selenium import webdriver
  
  class GlossaryPage(unittest.TestCase):
  
      def setUp(self):
          self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
          self.driver.maximize_window()
          self.driver.implicitly_wait(10)
      def test_NoLorem(self):
          driver = self.driver
          driver.get("http://www.python.org")
      def tearDown(self):
          self.driver.quit()
  
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      unittest.main()
