I can drive a headless browser using selenium and Chrome Canary. But I can't get it to work using Splinter.
Thanks in advance.
Here's what works.
import os
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.binary_location = '/Applications/Google Chrome Canary.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/local/bin/chromedriver', chrome_options=chrome_options)
Here's what doesn't work:
from splinter import Browser
executable_path = {'executable_path':'/Applications/Google Chrome Canary/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary'}
B=Browser('chrome',**executable_path)
Incidentally Splinter DOES work with phantomjs
executable_path = {'executable_path':'/Applications/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs'}
B=Browser('phantomjs',**executable_path )
The error message is
WebDriverException: Message: 'Google Chrome Canary' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home
Here's the path, as perceived by os.os.environ['PATH']
/Users/jonschull-MBPR/miniconda2/bin:/Applications/Google Chrome Canary/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome Canary:/Users/jonschull-MBPR/miniconda2/bin:/Users/jonschull-MBPR/anaconda/bin:/Users/jonschull-MBPR/Downloads/google-cloud-sdk/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Users/jonschull-MBPR/anaconda/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/chromedrive:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/mongodb/bin
And by the way, I've tried escaping "Google\ Chrome\ Canary "
