I want to run selenium on a raspberry pi 4 but I'm unable to get it work. I have installed the following files:
- Selenium (3.141.0)
- PyVirtualDisplay 0.2.5)
- Geckodriver (geckodriver-v0.26.0-linux32.tar.gz)
Running the following code (via Pycharm - Python 3.7):
from selenium import webdriver
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='/home/pi/driver_folder')
driver.get('https://www.google.com')
print(driver.page_source)
driver.close()
display.stop()
Gives me the following error, which indicates that Geckodriver doesn't have the right premissions. How can I solve that?
