Links to some of the more popular browser drivers follow.įrom selenium import webdriver browser = webdriver. Other supported browsers will have their own drivers available. g., place it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin.įailure to observe this step will give you an error : Message: ‘geckodriver’ executable needs to be in PATH. Firefox,įor example, requires geckodriver, which needs to be installed before the below examples can be run. Selenium requires a driver to interface with the chosen browser. Note: You may want to consider using virtualenv to create isolated Python environments. selenium-4.9.0.tar.gz), unarchive it, and run: python setup.py install If you have pip on your system, you can simply install or upgrade the Python bindings: pip install -U seleniumĪlternately, you can download the source distribution from PyPI (e.g. Several browsers/drivers are supported (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer), as well as the Remote protocol.

Even though maven is much easier to setup, it has its own learning curve and it sometimes leads to confusion.ĭue to this, we suggest that a better approach for beginners is to first setup selenium by directly downloading the jars and writing one or two selenium scripts. Why download the jar files instead of using Maven? You will see how this works when we actually come to the coding part.
However, combining these together helps write test cases in a much better format. You can use both junit and selenium independent of each other. It just helps you to write test cases in a more structured and better format. JUnit is not related to selenium in any way. JUnit is a unit testing framework for Java.
