I am trying to run a Selenium Webdriver script in Python to do some basic tasks. I can get the robot to function perfectly when running it through the Selenium IDE inteface (ie: when simply getting the GUI to repeat my actions). However when I export the code as a Python script and try to execute it from the command line, the Firefox browser will open but cannot ever access the starting URL (an error is returned to command line and the program stops). This is happening me regardless of what website etc I am trying to access.
I have included a very basic code here for demonstration purposes. I don't think that I have included the proxy section of the code correctly as the error being returned seems to be generated by the proxy.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
The below code is simply meant to open www.google.ie and search for the word "selenium". For me it opens a blank firefox browser and stops.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
import unittest, time, re
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import *
class Testrobot2(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
myProxy = "http://149.215.113.110:70"
proxy = Proxy({
'proxyType': ProxyType.MANUAL,
'httpProxy': myProxy,
'ftpProxy': myProxy,
'sslProxy': myProxy,
'noProxy':''})
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(proxy=proxy)
self.driver.implicitly_wait(30)
self.base_url = "https://www.google.ie/"
self.verificationErrors = []
self.accept_next_alert = True
def test_robot2(self):
driver = self.driver
driver.get(self.base_url + "/#gs_rn=17&gs_ri=psy-ab&suggest=p&cp=6&gs_id=ix&xhr=t&q=selenium&es_nrs=true&pf=p&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&oq=seleni&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47883778,d.ZGU&fp=7c0d9024de9ac6ab&biw=592&bih=665")
driver.find_element_by_id("gbqfq").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("gbqfq").send_keys("selenium")
def is_element_present(self, how, what):
try: self.driver.find_element(by=how, value=what)
except NoSuchElementException, e: return False
return True
def is_alert_present(self):
try: self.driver.switch_to_alert()
except NoAlertPresentException, e: return False
return True
def close_alert_and_get_its_text(self):
try:
alert = self.driver.switch_to_alert()
alert_text = alert.text
if self.accept_next_alert:
alert.accept()
else:
alert.dismiss()
return alert_text
finally: self.accept_next_alert = True
def tearDown(self):
self.driver.quit()
self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors)

This question is related to

How about something like this
PROXY = "149.215.113.110:70"
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy'] = {
"httpProxy":PROXY,
"ftpProxy":PROXY,
"sslProxy":PROXY,
"noProxy":None,
"proxyType":"MANUAL",
"class":"org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
"autodetect":False
}
# you have to use remote, otherwise you'll have to code it yourself in python to
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub", webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX)
You can read more about it here.
Works for me this way (similar to @Amey and @user4642224 code, but shorter a bit):
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType
prox = Proxy()
prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
prox.http_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.socks_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.ssl_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities)
If anyone is looking for a solution here's how :
from selenium import webdriver
PROXY = "YOUR_PROXY_ADDRESS_HERE"
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy']={
"httpProxy":PROXY,
"ftpProxy":PROXY,
"sslProxy":PROXY,
"noProxy":None,
"proxyType":"MANUAL",
"autodetect":False
}
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.whatsmyip.org/')
As stated by @Dugini, some config entries have been removed. Maximal:
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy'] = {
"httpProxy":PROXY,
"ftpProxy":PROXY,
"sslProxy":PROXY,
"noProxy":[],
"proxyType":"MANUAL"
}
Proxy with verification. This is a whole new python script in reference from a Mykhail Martsyniuk sample script.
# Load webdriver
from selenium import webdriver
# Load proxy option
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType
# Configure Proxy Option
prox = Proxy()
prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
# Proxy IP & Port
prox.http_proxy = “0.0.0.0:00000”
prox.socks_proxy = “0.0.0.0:00000”
prox.ssl_proxy = “0.0.0.0:00000”
# Configure capabilities
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
# Configure ChromeOptions
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/local/share chromedriver',desired_capabilities=capabilities)
# Verify proxy ip
driver.get("http://www.whatsmyip.org/")
The result stated above may be correct, but isn't working with the latest webdriver. Here is my solution for the above question. Simple and sweet
http_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
https_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy']={
"httpProxy":http_proxy,
"sslProxy":https_proxy,
"proxyType":"MANUAL"
}
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
OR
http_proxy = "http://ip:port"
https_proxy = "https://ip:port"
proxyDict = {
"http" : http_proxy,
"https" : https_proxy,
}
driver = webdriver.Firefox(proxy=proxyDict)
My solution:
def my_proxy(PROXY_HOST,PROXY_PORT):
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
# Direct = 0, Manual = 1, PAC = 2, AUTODETECT = 4, SYSTEM = 5
print PROXY_PORT
print PROXY_HOST
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 1)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.http",PROXY_HOST)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.http_port",int(PROXY_PORT))
fp.set_preference("general.useragent.override","whater_useragent")
fp.update_preferences()
return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp)
Then call in your code:
my_proxy(PROXY_HOST,PROXY_PORT)
I had issues with this code because I was passing a string as a port #:
PROXY_PORT="31280"
This is important:
int("31280")
You must pass an integer instead of a string or your firefox profile will not be set to a properly port and connection through proxy will not work.
Try by Setting up FirefoxProfile
from selenium import webdriver
import time
"Define Both ProxyHost and ProxyPort as String"
ProxyHost = "54.84.95.51"
ProxyPort = "8083"
def ChangeProxy(ProxyHost ,ProxyPort):
"Define Firefox Profile with you ProxyHost and ProxyPort"
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 1)
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.http", ProxyHost )
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.http_port", int(ProxyPort))
profile.update_preferences()
return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
def FixProxy():
""Reset Firefox Profile""
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 0)
return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
driver = ChangeProxy(ProxyHost ,ProxyPort)
driver.get("http://whatismyipaddress.com")
time.sleep(5)
driver = FixProxy()
driver.get("http://whatismyipaddress.com")
This program tested on both Windows 8 and Mac OSX. If you are using Mac OSX and if you don't have selenium updated then you may face selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException
. If so, then try again after upgrading your selenium
pip install -U selenium
This worked for me and allow to use an headless browser, you just need to call the method passing your proxy.
def setProxy(proxy):
options = Options()
options.headless = True
#options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1200")
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
prox = Proxy()
prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
prox.http_proxy = proxy
prox.ssl_proxy = proxy
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
return webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities, options=options, executable_path=DRIVER_PATH)
The answers above and on this question either didn't work for me with Selenium 3.14 and Firefox 68.9 on Linux, or are unnecessarily complex. I needed to use a WPAD configuration, sometimes behind a proxy (on a VPN), and sometimes not. After studying the code a bit, I came up with:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_profile import FirefoxProfile
proxy = Proxy({'proxyAutoconfigUrl': 'http://wpad/wpad.dat'})
profile = FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_proxy(proxy)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
The Proxy initialization sets proxyType to ProxyType.PAC (autoconfiguration from a URL) as a side-effect.
It also worked with Firefox's autodetect, using:
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import ProxyType
proxy = Proxy({'proxyType': ProxyType.AUTODETECT})
But I don't think this would work with both internal URLs (not proxied) and external (proxied) the way WPAD does. Similar proxy settings should work for manual configuration as well. The possible proxy settings can be seen in the code here.
Note that directly passing the Proxy object as proxy=proxy
to the driver does NOT work--it's accepted but ignored (there should be a deprecation warning, but in my case I think Behave is swallowing it).
Try setting up sock5 proxy too. I was facing the same problem and it is solved by using the socks proxy
def install_proxy(PROXY_HOST,PROXY_PORT):
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
print PROXY_PORT
print PROXY_HOST
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.type", 1)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.http",PROXY_HOST)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.http_port",int(PROXY_PORT))
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.https",PROXY_HOST)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.https_port",int(PROXY_PORT))
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.ssl",PROXY_HOST)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.ssl_port",int(PROXY_PORT))
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.ftp",PROXY_HOST)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.ftp_port",int(PROXY_PORT))
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.socks",PROXY_HOST)
fp.set_preference("network.proxy.socks_port",int(PROXY_PORT))
fp.set_preference("general.useragent.override","Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_3) AppleWebKit/537.75.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.3 Safari/7046A194A")
fp.update_preferences()
return webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=fp)
Then call
install_proxy ( ip , port )
from your program.
try running tor service, add the following function to your code.
def connect_tor(port):
socks.set_default_proxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, '127.0.0.1', port, True)
socket.socket = socks.socksocket
def main():
connect_tor()
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
