I am trying to write a program using selenium in python that will open a firefox window and go to twitter. I have placed the geckdriver.exe in my python 3.6 folder and installed firefox. I have also ran 'pip install selnium' and installed selenium.
This is the code i have written:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="C:\\Users\\Harry\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36-32\\geckodriver.exe")
browser.get("https://www.twitter.com/")`
When run the output is:
PS C:\Users\Harry\Desktop\Coding\Python\Bots\TwitterBot> python app.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "app.py", line 5, in browser = webdriver.Firefox() File "C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\firefox\webdriver.py", line 174, in init keep_alive=True) File "C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 157, in init self.start_session(capabilities, browser_profile) File "C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 252, in start_session response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters) File "C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 321, in execute self.error_handler.check_response(response) File "C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: Unable to find a matching set of capabilities
Why is this and what can i do to fix it? I am using python 3.6 and Visual Studio Code to code my program. Firefox version is latest one out at time of writing.
