Here's my code for opening Chrome:
from selenium import webdriver
driver=webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\Imran\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\selenium\\chromedriver.exe')
Error when running program:

Getting the following exception:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: session not created exception
Update your chromedriver to 2.24 version from the given url:
http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.24/
That worked for me.
Setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 before executing my script works for me.
See this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1552#c43
In Python:
import os
os.environ["LANG"] = "en_US.UTF-8"
To install the chromedriver on windows, download and unzip the chromedriver_win32.zip and add the path to the folder containing the chromedriver.exe in the environment variables setting [System properties - Advanced system settings - Environment variables].

I've tried upgrading selenium, along with Geckodriver and related drivers.
It was a mission just to get InstaPy installed!
I may just have to go the browser automation way instead here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
You must use Selenium with Geckodrive in Firefox
session = InstaPy(username=INSTAGRAM_LOGIN,
password=INSTAGRAM_PASSWORD,
geckodriver_path='geckodriver.exe')
I'm automating a service with Selenium, and the website I need to access uses iframes tags, and I need to alter the value of some elements inside this tag.
I was using the Edge WebDriver, but I changed to Chrome because I thought it'd solve the problem, and unfortunately, it didn't, so I don't think it had anything to do with the Driver, but I'd rather keep with Chrome, if possible.
This is the line that simulates the script:
gc.execute_script("""document.evaluate('//*[#id="QRYSELECT_WRK_QRYSEARCHTEXT254"]', document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue.setAttribute('value','foo')""")
And it raises me an exception about null pointers, but basically, it's saying that the browser couldn't find this element, and, therefore, couldn't change its value.
Ironically, when I open the console and write the following command (which is the same script above):
document.evaluate('//*[#id="QRYSELECT_WRK_QRYSEARCHTEXT254"]', document, null, XPathResult.FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE, null).singleNodeValue.setAttribute('value','foo')
It works.
Here's the traceback to the error when I call execute_script from gc:
Traceback (most recent call last):

So I guess it's probably something related to permissions...? But I don't know, it's quite weird to get two different results to the same script, isn't it?
Thanks!
I'm trying to run chrome headless with selenium in Python.
I tried xvfb-run -a python3 message.py
And i get this error:

I'm using Python 3.5 and chromedriver 2.33.506178 for Linux32 (Ubuntu as Server without Desktop)
I tested the same code on my other pc with linux mint, all works fine.
Hope you can help me :)
After checking my actual rights of writing/reading/executing I found my mistake. chromedriver weren't able to load while trying to execute with root rights.
After I changed chromedrivers permission all works fine now.
I have a Chrome extension and I'd like to test it with Selenium. The extension places an iframe tag to pages.
I can successfully get the iframe tag by running the following command:
top_frame = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value='//iframe[#class="top-frame"]')
However, when I try switching to the frame I get 'NoSuchFrameException' error.
driver.switch_to.frame(top_frame)
The following line outputs the frame's class name correctly
print(top_frame.get_attribute('class'))
Error log:

Try this man,
driver.switch_to.frame(driver.find_element(By.XPATH,value=".//iframe[#src='give your frame source name here..']"));
In the latest version of Chrome, most likely there is a bug that breaks the switch_to_frame() call. Therefore, I started using Firefox instead, everything is smooth for now.

Note :

firefox and selenium is up to date
driver should be updated one & did u try webdriver.Firefox(driver_path) ?
Uninstall instance of webdriver dependency and install the correct one which corresponds to your OS and browser version.Also when you give path of chrome ,it should end with chrome.exe and not chrome.
