python selenium chrome webdriver giving me data; page

Question

I've been working with the following code, trying to introduce myself to selenium. When it runs, the chrome browser opens, but the page is blank, with no source code a far as I can tell, and 'data;' in the address bar. Any information on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome(service_args = ['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=TLSv1'])

url = 'https://www.google.com/'
browser.get(url)

I have also tried it without the service_args and tried it specifying the driver path and both, but get the same result each time

You need to update the Selenium libs, drivers, and make sure that the browser is up-to-date. — JeffC

The most possibility is your browser not compatible with the webdriver. Please confirm your browser version and webdriver version.

My chrome version is 60 and chromerdriver is chromedriver_2.30.exe

You can find compatible version from here

Thank you! I was using chrome version 60 and chromedriver_2.9. I went down to 2.3 and it works great!

I don't see any error as such in your code. Though the documentation for service_args is missing in the Selenium-Python API Docs as well as in the ChromeDriver Getting started Doc. But 0096850 clearly suggests service_args is implemented.

The service_args works well at my end. Hence I suspect there is a mismatch between Selenium version, chromedriver version and Chrome version we are using. First and foremost, we have to ensure that our Selenium version, chromedriver version and Chrome version are compatible. You can find the compatibility information on the Downloads page of ChromeDriver individually for each releases.

The Downloads page clearly mentions:

Latest Release: ChromeDriver 2.32 Supports Chrome v59-61

Additionally, you may be required to pass the argument executable_path to mention the absolute path of the chromedriver binary as follows:

Windows 8 based code:

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe', service_args = ['--ignore-ssl-errors=true', '--ssl-protocol=TLSv1'])

url = 'https://www.google.com/'
browser.get(url)

If you're using Codeception, start the test with :

$I->amOnPage('/');

simply add this argument to selenium options (google how add options on solenium python to how to add options argument)

 options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=9225")
