Nice question buddy…they have written a HTTP proxy to solve the Javascript secuirty restrictions. Using this proxy made it possible to side-step many of the constraints of the “same host origin” policy, where a browser won’t allow Javascript to make calls to anything other than the server from which the current page has been served. … Read more
I got this same error: .NET WebDriver: 2.37, FF: 25.0.1. I noticed that Firefox was locking up until I exited my test application, so I built the debug version of Firefox and found that the lock-up happened when it was writing to stderr. This gave me the clue to change the webdriver code so that … Read more

It’s not a good idea to change your question in general, it’s better to search first and ask a new one if needed, with all specifics. … Read more
You can use an XPath to locate the <iframe>: iframe = driver.find_element_by_xpath(“//iframe[@name=”Dialogue Window”]”) Then switch_to the <iframe>: driver.switch_to.frame(iframe) Here’s how to switch back to the default content (out of the <iframe>): driver.switch_to.default_content()
Use driver.save_screenshot(‘/path/to/file’) or driver.get_screenshot_as_file(‘/path/to/file’): import selenium.webdriver as webdriver import contextlib @contextlib.contextmanager def quitting(thing): yield thing thing.quit() with quitting(webdriver.Firefox()) as driver: driver.implicitly_wait(10) driver.get(‘http://www.google.com’) driver.get_screenshot_as_file(‘/tmp/google.png’) # driver.save_screenshot(‘/tmp/google.png’)
You should be able to get the text using getText() (for the option element you got using getFirstSelectedOption()): Select select = new Select(driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//select”))); WebElement option = select.getFirstSelectedOption(); String defaultItem = option.getText(); System.out.println(defaultItem );
The fact that selenium driven WebDriver gets detected doesn’t depends on any specific Selenium, Chrome or ChromeDriver version. The Websites themselves can detect the network traffic and can identify the Browser Client i.e. Web Browser as WebDriver controled. However some generic approaches to avoid getting detected while web-scraping are as follows: The first and foremost … Read more
As of Firefox version 47.0 (which came out a little while a go), a new driver must be used (created by mozilla instead of selenium) to connect to Firefox, because of a bug introduces in this version. As of Firefox version 48.0 the old driver will be deprecated completely and only Marionette can be used … Read more
