I am attempting to run selenium from python
This returns an error:
I assumed at first that selenium was not being found on the system, so built the port www/selenium and then www/py-selenium (config without chromium or firefox; I think I built chromium as a dep to get qutebrowser) but I am still getting this error.
I assume somehow telling the python script where the chromedriver/selenium binary is would work, but I do not know where that would be, how to install it, or whatever else would be needed to get this working.
It seems like the FreeBSD selenium situation has boiled down to 'bsd can just run the linux binary' in this github issue: Selenium on FreeBSD
What can be done, if anything, if I want pure BSD selenium chromedriver? I plan to toy around with linux compatability later on, not yet, so I woul prefer to not just use the linux binary.
If the selenium manager program were active, would it err on something? Does anyone have familiarity with working with selenium of FreeBSD 15 latest built with ports?
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
options.add_argument("--headless=new")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("...")This returns an error:
