How to load firefox profile with Python Selenium?

Question

I\'m trying to get Python Selenium to work on my Windows Machine. I\'ve upgraded to the latest versions of Firefox, Selenium, Geckodriver, but I still receive the below error: <

Switch to the chrome driver. Firefox, gecko, and selenium are not working well together right now. Here is what finally worked for me.

import unittest
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException

class TestTemplate(unittest.TestCase):
    """Include test cases on a given url"""

    def setUp(self):
        """Start web driver"""
        chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
        chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
        self.driver.implicitly_wait(10)

    def tearDown(self):
        """Stop web driver"""
        self.driver.quit()

    def test_case_1(self):
        """Go to python.org and print title"""
        try:
            self.driver.get('https://www.python.org/')
            title = self.driver.title
            print title
        except NoSuchElementException as ex:
            self.fail(ex.msg)

    def test_case_2(self):
        """Go to redbull.com and print title"""
        try:
            self.driver.get('https://www.redbull.com')
            title = self.driver.title
            print title
        except NoSuchElementException as ex:
            self.fail(ex.msg)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(TestTemplate)
    unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(suite)

I use a Jenkinsfile that loads the frame buffer to call selenium and the python script.

You could easily run this on your local machine. You may want to get a vagrant box going with linux.

Here is what launches the python script.

sh "(Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1366x768x16 &) && (python ./${PYTHON_SCRIPT_FILE})"

This is called from a docker file running this Docker image.
