Selenium driver.get() does not work
#1
It seems very simple but I am new to python and I'm stumped as to why this won't work.
from selenium import webdriver

class my_class(object):
    chrome_path = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe'
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)
    driver.get('https://google.com')
I am following: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/g...arted.html

yet the first thing I try does not work.

All it does is open a new window with chrome. It does not load google.

Any help appreciated :)

You need to download and use the chrome driver

Okay thanks, do you happen to know how to import my login credentials and what not?

from selenium import webdriver

class my_class(object):
    # set chromes path
    chrome_path = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chromedriver.exe'
    ## login stuff
    #web = Browser()
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path)
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_argument('user-data-dir=C:/Users/tom/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data')
Something like that I suppose.

Thanks

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() 
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\RvBVakama\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data") #Path to your chrome profile
w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)
w.get("http://google.com")


Got it working but now it won't get() again

This is the error I get
