NotADirectoryError: [WinError 267] The directory name is invalid error while invoking Firefox through Selenium Python

Question

I\'m trying to invoke a firefox browser using Selenium webdriver from below python code..

from selenium import webdriver

# Initializing the WebDriver for Firef         


        

Answer 1

Selenium is looking for the directory, not the executable. You have to point to the directory where geckodriver.exe is placed. Do not include geckodriver.exe in the string argument.

Instead of

driver = webdriver.Firefox("C:\\selenium\\mozilla\\geckodriver.exe")

Do

driver = webdriver.Firefox("C:\\selenium\\mozilla")
