Try To Start Chrome Driver On Linux With Selenium Webdriver

I try to find answer and can't, now I ask by myself. I wrote simple test from selenium import webdriver driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'/home/tranter/workspace/chromed

Solution 1:

For Linux user: Start the Display before start the Chrome. for more info click here

from selenium import webdriver
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
# Add following 2 line before start the Chrome
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 800))  
display.start()
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
driver.quit()
display.stop()

Solution 2:

2.10.267517 is not the latest version.

$ chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 2.10.267518

With above version, Python 2.7.6, your code work well. (except that I modified the chromedriver path)

FYI, here are uname for my ubuntu:

$ uname -a
Linux jmlee12 3.13.0-36-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 3 21:30:07 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux$ python -V
