Selenium Python Error

Question

I am trying to create a small test program that is able to login into gmail. So far the program opens up the website on chrome but then fails to actually type anything into the "Enter Email" form box. Also I am receiving an error within the shell which may provide insight into my question.

Driver Version: 2.40 Chrome Version: 67.0.3396.99

Below is the code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver= webdriver.Chrome('C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("http://mail.google.com")
emailid=driver.find_element_by_name("identifier")
emailid.send_keys("samplekeys")

Below is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\gmail.py", line 7, in <module>
    driver.get("http://mail.google.com")
  File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 332, in get
    self.execute(Command.GET, {'url': url})
  File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webdriver.py", line 320, in execute
    self.error_handler.check_response(response)
  File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\errorhandler.py", line 242, in check_response
    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: missing or invalid 'entry.level'
  (Session info: chrome=67.0.3396.99)
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.27.440174 (e97a722caafc2d3a8b807ee115bfb307f7d2cfd9),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17134 x86_64)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

try this :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC 
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = r'C:/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe')
browser.get("http://mail.google.com")  

wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 10)

user_name = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'identifierId')))
user_name.click()
user_name.send_keys("samplekeys")

You need to download the chromedriver, and put the path to your webdriver.Chrome(), for example my chromedriver are in /usr/local/bin/chromdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')

or for widndows

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = r'C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe')

Ok but I am confused as to how the web page was launched though. If i didn't add the driver location wouldn't the page not even launch?

Druta Ruslan Over a year ago

i don't know, but for example i can open the chrome without chromedriver

can you show your code how do you pass the chromedriver?

Do you think it may have to do with the new chrome not being compatible with he driver?

Druta Ruslan Over a year ago

can you try to use 'C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe' ? with double slash
