Webdriverexception: Message: Invalid Argument: Can't Kill An Exited Process Error With Selenium Geckodriver And Firefox In Google Colab On Ubuntu

Post a Comment
In a previous post (enter link description here) the following code (by DebanjanB) # install firefox, geckodriver, and selenium !apt-get update !pip install selenium !apt install

Solution 1:

After all the discussion within the comments it seems you erred the command to download GeckoDriver and possibly some issues with downloading and/or installing Firefox.

GeckoDriver

The command to install geckodriver within ubuntu was error prone:

!apt install firefox-geckodriver

Here are the detailed steps:

  • Browse to the geckodriver releases page. Checkout the compatible version of GeckoDriver for your platform and download it as follows:

    wget https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.24.0/geckodriver-v0.24.0-linux64.tar.gz

  • Extract the file with:

    tar -xvzf geckodriver*

  • Make it executable:

    chmod +x geckodriver

  • Add the driver to your PATH so other tools can find it:

    export PATH=$PATH:/path-to-extracted-file/.

Firefox

The latest version of Firefox is always available as a security updates in all supported releases of Ubuntu and a normal update will install it. You need to enable the security or you need to update the repositories (e. g. Software & Updates -> Updates). You need to enable the Security by default but better to check if the package manager doesn't updates Firefox by default.

Update

Selenium Client Driver page mentions:

So possibly Python 3.7 is still not supported and you may have to downgrade to a relevant version.
