Selenium WebDriver.get(url) does not open the URL

Question

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui impo         


        

Answer 1

I was facing exactly the same issue, after browsing for sometime,I came to know that it is basically version compatibility issue between FireFox and selenium. I have got the latest FireFox but my Selenium imported was older which is causing the issue. Issue got resolved after upgrading selenium

pip install -U selenium

OS: windows Python 2.7

Answer 2

Try the following code

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

WebDriver DRIVER = new FirefoxDriver();
DRIVER.get("http://www.google.com");

Answer 3

You need to first declare url as a sting as below:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait # available since 2.4.0
import time


# Create a new instance of the Firefox driver

String URL = "http://www.google.com";

driver = webdriver.Firefox()


# go to the google home page
driver.get(URL);

Answer 4

I had the similar problem. All I had to do was delete the existing geckodriver.exe and download the latest release of the same. You can find the latest release here https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases.

Answer 5

Check your browser version and do the following.

1. Download the Firefox/Chrome webdriver from Google

2. Put the webdriver in Chrome's directory.

Answer 6

Please have a look at this HowTo: http://www.qaautomation.net/?p=373 Have a close look at section "Instantiating WebDriver"

I think you are missing the following code line:

wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30);

Put it between

driver = webdriver.Firefox();

and

driver.getUrl("http://www.google.com");

Haven't tested it, because I'm not using Selenium at the moment. I'm familiar with Selenium 1.x.
