Selenium+python+shell+crontab+firefox

Recently in a script to try an automatic punch, found a few questions, hereby recorded.

Environment:

Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS

Selenium 2.43.0

Firefox 32.0.3

1 Originally the machine Selenium,firefox are installed, but Firefox updates from time to time, so selenium may not support the current version of Firefox.

Update Selenium command:

sudo pip install-u Selenium

2 python script used:

1 #!/usr/bin/env python2 3 ImportSYS4  fromSeleniumImportWebdriver5 6URL ="http://XXX.com/"7Driver =Webdriver. Firefox ()8 9Driver.get (url+"/")TenDriver.find_element_by_xpath ("//div[2]/input"). Send_keys ("XXX") OneDriver.find_element_by_xpath ("//div[3]/input"). Send_keys ("XXX") ADRIVER.FIND_ELEMENT_BY_ID ("Loginbutton"). Click () -Driver.find_element_by_css_selector ("a > IMG"). Click () -  theDriver.quit ()

3 Crontab Automatic task-related commands:

Crontab-l: Displays the current user's scheduled tasks

CRONTAB-E: Editing the current user's scheduled tasks

The actual command used:

0 * * 1-5 export display=:0.0 && python/home/yzzw006/wifi/yzzw_doc/kq.py

Here are two points to note:

1 because the task must be opened in the foreground browser, it must be added "export display=:0.0";

2 script address executed in crontab use absolute path as far as possible
