chromedriver selenium code example

Example 1: chromedriver selenium python

# For Linux, but it is similar for Windows
# First make sure first that you have chrome browser installed on your system.

# a simple way to get the driver is: 
sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver
# this will download 75MB of files.

# another way is:
1. Download the lastest version of driver from:
  https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/ # only 5-7MB
2. Unzip the file.
3. Paste the file in /usr/local/bin using this command:
  sudo mv chromedriver /usr/local/bin # this makes sure that the directory is in your PATH variable.
4. Make your file executable:
  sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

Now you can use this in python:
  >>from selenium import webdriver
  >>browser = webdriver.Chrome()
  # it will work fine

Example 2: chromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(“D:\driver\chromedriver.exe”)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'DRIVER_PATH')

Example 3: selenium set chrome executable path

chromedriver = "/path/to/chromedriver"
options = Options()
options.binary_location = '/path/to/chrome'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver, chrome_options=options)

Example 4: chromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(“D:\driver\chromedriver.exe”)

"chromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(“D:\driver\chromedriver.exe”)" doesnt work for me 
so i found out if i use "driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'DRIVER_PATH')"
 it works

Example 5: selenium chromedriver

Supports Chrome version 89
Resolved issue 3667: Timed out receiving a message from rendererResolved issue 3675: GetElementLocation uses inView method which mishandles boolean as arrayResolved issue 3682: GetElementRegion returns incorrect size for elements which are partially out of viewportResolved issue 3690: ChromeDriver fails if extensions use chrome.windows API

Example 6: selenium set chrome executable path

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.setBinary("/path/to/chrome/binary");

ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
