After switching from running Python 3.5 code on my Mac to a Windows computer, I encountered an issue where the code wouldn't work as expected. On the Mac, everything ran smoothly without any problems, but on Windows, I ended up with a blank page instead of the home page.
There were no error messages displayed, just a frustrating lack of functionality. Here's the snippet of code that was causing me trouble:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('https://www.google.com')
cookies = driver.get_cookies()
print(cookies)
When attempting to run this code and then closing the browser, the shell spat out an error message:
"The browser appears to have exited "
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.Research led me to believe that setting up a profile might resolve this issue, but most resources were geared towards Java. Can anyone provide guidance or assistance with this?
