Introduction to Selenium
Selenium is a collection of tools and libraries that support web browser automation.At the heart of Selenium is the WebDriver., which is an interface for writing instruction sets that run interchangeably in many browsers.
Environment Setup
Python Installation
The version of Python that comes with the mac system is 2.7 (a low version), so you can install it directly with the command brew install python3
View the installation location via which python3
Run python3 in the terminal and see the following screen, it means that Python has been installed successfully!
Install Pycharm
- existPycharm official websitedownloading
- Editor creates folders (e.g. selecode)
- Pycharm opens the selecode folder with the following settings
selenium installation
pip install
1.1 Download pip
curl /pip/ -o
1.2 Installation
Install selenium via pip
pip install selenium
View selenium
pip show selenium
WebDriver Installation
Check the browser version, the WebDriver version needs to be the same as the browser version.
Download the WebDriver that corresponds to your browser version.
Adding Environment Variables
vim ~/.profile export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/chromedriver" source ~/.profile
3.1 The mac also needs to add trust, in the webdriver directory, execute the
chromedriver % xattr -d chromedriver
3.2 Test on the console to see if it works.
Basic use of selemium
Creating a python file
Email Run the demo code below to see the effect
positioning of elements
ID location
xpath positioning (direct Copy full Xpath)
multi-window
In selenium, a window is uniquely identified by a randomly generated string (uuid)
Execute js: open new window
new = '("/sso/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2Fsso%2Fconnect%2Fauthorize' \
'%2Fcallback%3Fclient_id%3Dhpa-ctm-vendor-portal%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%' \
'%252Fcallback%26response_type%3Dtoken%2520id_token%26scope%3Dopenid%2520profile%2520vendor-api%2520foundation' \
'-api%26state%3D5a6d7d6d84264b828f02081ac9fb1c3a%26nonce%3D7cb02e1da5214cd0828d4373b29e5b66"); '
driver.execute_script(new)
Getting the handler
3.1 Get all: driver.window_handlers
3.2 Get a single: driver.current_window_handle
3.3 Switching: driver.switch_to_window(handle)
concluding remarks
You can make some simple demos by doing the above, but how to produce reports? How to engineer? And how to deploy iterations? Still need to learn more
