With the popularity of Python3, Selenium3 caught up. The biggest change in Selenium3 is that Selenium RC is removed, and Webdriver is removed from the respective browsers and must be downloaded separately.
1. Multiple Python versions coexist on Windows (Python 2.7.8 already installed)
You can download Python and PIP through Python and PIP
Natively installed versions of Python 2.7.8 and Python 3.5
Download Python and install it, adding the environment variable path
D:\Python\Python35-32\Scripts\; D:\Python\Python35-32\; D:\Python27\; D:\Python27\Scripts\;
Go to D:\Python27 and change python.exe to python2.exe
Go to D:\Python\ python35-32 and change python.exe to python3.exe
Unzip the downloaded PIP and run python2 setup.py install/python3 setup.py install
Run the PIP list command to check whether the PIP is installed successfully.
Install Selenium in Python3
Go to D: Python\ python35-32 \Scripts\ and run PIP. Exe install Selenium
3. Install the Selenium server
Download selenium-server-standalone at the Selenium download address. X.X.X. jar
Install the Selenium server by executing the Java-jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar
4. Install Firefox GeckoDriver
Install the latest version of Firefox and add the Firefox executable to the system environment variables. Remember to turn off automatic updates in Firefox
Install geckodriver
Place the downloaded geckodriver.exe in the path D:\Python\ python35-32 \
5. Simple examples
An example of python_org_search.py from the official website.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(“http://www.python.org”)
assert “Python” in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name(“q”)
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys(“pycon”)
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert “No results found.” not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
Run pythON3 python_org_search.py
Implement interface
Step on the pit
1. Install geckoDriver
2. Upgrade Firefox
3. If Firefox is not installed in the default directory, the webdriver.py and firefox_binary.py configurations need to be changed
4. Don’t understand the version matching between plug-ins. Fortunately, I can run ~~~
