Selenium opens browser but doesn't load page

Question

this is an extension from a previous post I made Here which I could not get to work but I am now getting a new error after updating Selenium.

I am using Python 3.5,

Answer 1

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

Answer 3

I got the same problem with my Ubuntu 20.10 and fixed it with the terminal using this line:

sudo apt-get install firefox-geckodriver 

You can do the same with a macOS:

brew install geckodriver

Here ya go mate, anybody who is deep in this problem can solve theirs with this.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

You need to set geckodriver path 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
