After following the steps to set up Chrome requirements for selenium.webdriver.Chrome, I implemented the code provided in this Stack Overflow post on Running webdriver chrome with Selenium:
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.google.com")
print driver.page_source.encode('utf-8')
To my surprise, the code executed successfully but no browser window appeared. This made it challenging to debug or see what was happening. How can Selenium be utilized to display a working Chrome driver (Python)? Thank you
ANSWER:
To solve this issue, set the visibility to 1 and install an emulator:
sudo apt-get install xvfb xserver-xephyr
display = Display(visible=1, size=(800, 600))
