Hi there,
Yesterday, after more than one year without working in one of my pet projects, I cloned the repository in a new Ubuntu desktop 20.04
Most of the GUI code worked out, but it wasn't the case for the Selenium bits. So I decided to take a closer look, and then, I realized that Selenium python bindings had been updated from the stable version 3.141.0 to the new pre-release 4.0.0a5
After many tries, I was only getting these messages:
DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
DeprecationWarning: firefox_profile has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
So, I took a look to the source code and, finally, I was able to solve the issue:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
# Options
options = Options()
## Option for using a custom Firefox profile
options.profile = '/home/t00m/.basico/opt/webdrivers/basico.default'
## Enable headless
options.headless = False
# Specify custom geckodriver path
service = Service('/home/t00m/.basico/opt/webdrivers/geckodriver')
# Test
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=options, service=service)
browser.get('https://dev.to')
print(browser.title)
browser.quit()
Bonus track
My application needs to load a page via SSO. In the past, I used a timeout. Now, I keep the timeout but I've added the following code to skip it if it loads the page faster:
# Extra imports
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
# Test
timeout = 10
browser = webdriver.Firefox(options=options, service=service)
browser.get('https://dev.to')
try:
element_present = EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'snack-zone'))
WebDriverWait(browser, timeout).until(element_present)
except TimeoutException:
print("Timed out waiting for page to load")
finally:
print("Page loaded")
print(browser.title)
browser.quit()
Take care. Stay safe.
