Initializing browser... Failed!

[reeswar21]

hey ..just figuring out everything was fine until this"Initializing browser... Failed!" can you help me out with this?

[SHUR1K-N]

Uncomment line #255 from MeetNinja.py:

# print(e)

Now, the failure will show itself in the form of a traceback (error message) in the MeetNinja console window. You may then share this traceback here.

[reeswar21]

i dont understand

[SHUR1K-N]

Open MeetNinja.py using any editor, scroll down to the end of the file (line #255), and where it says # print(e), go ahead and remove the # (the space too) so it is now just print(e). Save this file and then run it. When it fails this time, it will show a more specific error message (traceback); you can share that error message here so I could assist you further.

[reeswar21]

okay now it says name error e is not defined

[SHUR1K-N]

No, that is just a side effect, the actual error is above it.

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'w3c'

Just for the sake of clarity, could you share all the bits you have substituted into the code except the username and password? It is quite possible something was perhaps edited incorrectly. You may share the entire section as a screenshot. Make sure you censor/remove your login credentials.

1. You are not using the correct format in MEETS. It is supposed to be {"1 https://meet.google.com...", including the serial number of the Meet, which would be 1 in this case since it is the first Meet

2. You were supposed to substitute the "Browser Driver Path Goes Here (options below)" part with "ChromeDrivers/mac64/chromedriver"

3. You have also removed the selector paths from usernameFieldPath = "" and passwordFieldPath = ""; Just a heads up, since you probably did this assuming it has something to do with your actual login credentials while sharing this here

Please follow the correct and simple steps in the Usage section of MeetNinja. You seem to have made too many changes to the code that you may not be able to understand the consequences of.

[reeswar21]

do i have to put in my actual username and password in the usernamefieldpath and password field path

[SHUR1K-N]

No, you are supposed to leave it as it was initially. You should re-clone or re-download MeetNinja from scratch and only change what is shown in the simple documentation on the MeetNinja page. Kindly, read the previous comment of this thread, it has been updated with several additional errors in your modifications.

[reeswar21]

and I don't understand about removing the return line from the browser driver option?

[SHUR1K-N]

If you make changes that you cannot understand to the code, it is highly likely you will not get your desired outcome.

As suggested in my previous comment:

[reeswar21]

okay i am done with all you said but still it says the same thing?

[SHUR1K-N]

You may share your entire code here again. Make sure you censor/remove your login credentials. Only the USERNAME and PASSWORD variables, nothing else.

Code seems fine now.

Uncomment line #255 from MeetNinja.py:

# print(e)

Now, the failure will show itself in the form of a traceback (error message) in the MeetNinja console window. You may then share this traceback here.

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'ChromeDrivers/mac64/chromedriver' selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable may have wrong permissions.

The "chromedriver" file in your ChromeDrivers/mac64/ directory does not have sufficient permissions to run on your system.

You can fix this by navigating to the ChromeDrivers/mac64/ directory, opening a Terminal window there, and executing the following command: sudo chmod 777 chromedriver

[reeswar21]

it says no such file or directory

[reeswar21]

i can only open chromedriver in editor not in terminal

[SHUR1K-N]

Can you share a screenshot of your Terminal window after executing the sudo chmod 777 chromedriver command? Also, help me with the path of where you have cloned/downloaded MeetNinja.

[reeswar21]

oh wait i replaced the chromedriver file and now its working but it stopped at chrome and says it's being controlled by automated test software

[SHUR1K-N]

MeetNinja opens a new Google Chrome window that is in Developer Mode, so that MeeNinja can work on it. If it is stuck as you mentioned, you may share a screenshot of the MeetNinja console window and the newly generated Chrome window.

[reeswar21]

[SHUR1K-N]

Yes, as it says in the MeetNinja console window, it is waiting for the first Meet to start. You have set your first Meet's time to 09:00:00 1/12/2020, and that is when it will start.

[reeswar21]

okay, i changed the time for now like 12.30 in my country but it didn't start? It said the same thing

[SHUR1K-N]

Can you share your current date and time, and also your first Meet's new date and time?

[reeswar21]

[SHUR1K-N]

Strange. The scheduling in MeetNinja solely relies on only your system time, using the datetime package.

Does the MeetNinja console window still just stay at "Waiting until first Meet start time [12:30:00 1/12/2020]..."?

[reeswar21]

yes bro it still says waiting

[SHUR1K-N]

Since your current time is 12:34:21AM, the Meet time is to be set as 00:30:00 (24-hour format) instead of 12:30:00. 12:30:00 in the 24-hour format would mean 12:30PM (12-hour format) in the afternoon.

[reeswar21]

okay testing on it

[reeswar21]

great bro its working ...thanks

[SHUR1K-N]

Do report here if everything's working as intended so this Issue could then be closed.

Edit: Awesome! [Closed]

[reeswar21]

I am sorry for the trouble that I gave you and also this was a brilliant work from you..all the credits to you. print("thank you so much!")
