Selenium + python + shell + crontab + firefox, seleniumcrontab

Selenium + python + shell + crontab + firefox, seleniumcrontab

I have recently tried an automatic punching script and found several problems. I would like to record them here.

Environment:

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

Selenium 2.43.0

Firefox 32.0.3

 

1 selenium and firefox are installed on the machine, but firefox is updated from time to time, So selenium may not support the current firefox version.

The selenium update command:

Sudo pip install-U selenium

 

2. Python script used:

 1 #!/usr/bin/env python 2  3 import sys 4 from selenium import webdriver 5  6 url = "http://XXX.com/" 7 driver = webdriver.Firefox() 8  9 driver.get(url+ "/")10 driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[2]/input").send_keys("XXX")11 driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[3]/input").send_keys("XXX")12 driver.find_element_by_id("loginButton").click()13 driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a > img").click()14 15 driver.quit()

 

3 crontab:

Crontab-l: displays the scheduled tasks of the current user.

Crontab-e: edit the scheduled task of the current user

Actually used commands:

0 18 ** 1-5 export DISPLAY =: 0.0 & python/home/yzzw006/Wifi/yzzw_doc/kq. py

Note the following two points:

1 because the task must open a browser at the front end, you must add "export DISPLAY =: 0.0 ";

2. Use the absolute path whenever possible for the script address executed in crontab.

 

Selenium python cannot start firefox (selenium 2421 firefox30)

Hello! I'm glad to answer your questions.
According to your information, the configuration file cannot be loaded. We recommend that you store your browser configuration file in the location indicated by the error message and try again. In addition, selenium does not explicitly state that it supports firefox30. Therefore, we recommend that you use a lower version for testing.
