Usage in code

This example shows how you can use this library to download chromedriver binary and use it immediately. The chromedriver will be downloaded to base directory.

from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver

filename = DriverUpdater.install(DriverUpdater.chromedriver)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(filename)
driver.get('https://google.com')

Or you can specify a path where you want to download a chromedriver to

from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
import os

base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

filename = DriverUpdater.install(path=base_dir, driver_name=DriverUpdater.chromedriver)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(filename)
driver.get('https://google.com')

You can also specify the version type (beta, dev, canary) you want to download.

from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver

filename = DriverUpdater.install(driver_name=DriverUpdater.chromedriver, version=DriverUpdater.chromedriver_beta)

driver = webdriver.Chrome(filename)
driver.get('https://google.com')

You can also use library to download and update chromedriver and geckodriver binaries at the same time.

from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
import os

base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
list_drivers = [DriverUpdater.chromedriver, DriverUpdater.geckodriver]

filenames = DriverUpdater.install(path=base_dir, driver_name=list_drivers)
print(filenames)

driver_chrome = webdriver.Chrome(filename[0])
driver_chrome.get('https://google.com')

driver_firefox = webdriver.Firefox(filename[1])
driver_firefox.get('https://google.com')
