Selenium headless not working - workaround to force 4.12.0 #103

Closed djhmateer closed 1 year ago

djhmateer commented 1 year ago

Have found that when I did a pipenv update then ran the code on my local machine, the firefox browser would display briefly. However on the server (with no terminal attached) it couldn't, so errored out, not producing a screenshot

In my Pipfile I've added this for the meantime which works as before

#selenium = "*"
# bug where it renders to screen on 4.15.0, and fails on the server
selenium = "==4.12.0"

Great issue Dave, thanks for flagging this. This is probably due to a change to how Selenium handles headless mode. It should have been raising a deprecation warning before.

Thank you very much Galen for fixing this!
