Execute Python (selenium) script in crontab
As seen here, you need to give cron a display:
30 5 * * * export DISPLAY=:0; /home/me/good_morning.sh
A quick guess, your job fails to run because it requires an X session. You should setup your test script to run in a headless mode.
update:
Your trace says exactly what I meant, firefox does not run without X, or a display if you want.
The output was: Error: no display specified\n'
Save yourself more trouble, read the link I posted.
You can do it without crontab.
I found schedule modul: GIThub/schedule
Now your code should look like:
import schedule
import time
def job():
import pickle
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.google.com')
t=driver.current_url
pickle.dump(t,open('noreal','wb'))
schedule.every(1).minutes.do(job)
while True:
schedule.run_pending()
time.sleep(1)
It is not best solution but it works.
