问题


I have been trying to do web automation using selenium,Is there any way to use browser like chrome,firefox without actually installing then, like using some alternate options, or having portable versions of them.If I can use portable versions how do i tell selenium to use it?


回答1:


To use the browsers like google-chrome and firefox you have to install the full-blown browser.

You can find a detailed discussion in Is Chrome installation needed or only chromedriver when using Selenium?


As an alternative you can use the headless phantomjs browser as follows:

  • Code Block:

    from selenium import webdriver
    
    driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\phantomjs.exe', service_args=['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=tslv1.0'])
    driver.set_window_size(1920, 1080)
    driver.get("https://account.booking.com/register?op_token=EgVvYXV0aCJ7ChQ2Wjcyb0hPZDM2Tm43emszcGlyaBIJYXV0aG9yaXplGhpodHRwczovL2FkbWluLmJvb2tpbmcuY29tLyo2eyJwYWdlIjoiL3JlZGlyZWN0LXRvLWpvaW5hcHAtbHA_bGFuZz1pdCZhaWQ9MTE4NzM2MCJ9QgRjb2RlKg4QAToAQgBY5dGK8gVgAQ")
    print(driver.page_source)
    driver.quit()
    

You can find a detailed discussion in PhantomJS can't load correctly web page

回答2:


If you install pip install selenium

it comes with the protable chrome browser, no need to install any browser for this.

the chrome has a tag "chrome is controlled by automated test software" near search bar
