When you are working with browser you need driver instance to interect , for example if you want to work chrome driver you need chrome driver exe and if you want open firefox you need gecko driver

https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases you can download latest driver from this link and setup path also and rerun project

Baseed on

NotADirectoryError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: 'geckodriver'

suggest:

  • Make sure you have successfully installed Fixefox, to verify it by starting firefox in the console
  • Download geckodriver binary from https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases, note that geckodriver must match with Firefox version
  • Set the path. demo driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'/User/xxx/geckodriver')
