This is why, as an automation tester, it is important that you perform automated browser testing on Chrome browser.ĬhromeDriver is used along with Selenium to automate tests on the Chrome browser. It is the choice of the majority of users and it’s popularity continues to rise. I keep getting: Platform error sensor.According to netmarketshare, Google Chrome accounts for 67% of the browser market share.

But this feels like a bit of a waste of resources.įrom import OptionsĬhrome_options.add_argument('-headless')Ĭhrome_options.add_argument('-no-sandbox')Ĭhrome_options.add_argument('-disable-gpu')Ĭhrome_options.add_argument('-disable-dev-shm-usage')ĭriver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver', options=chrome_options)ĭriver.find_element_by_id('account').SendKeys (CONF_ACCOUNT_KEY)ĭriver.find_element_by_class_name('button').ClickĪTTR_BALANCE = driver.find_element_by_id('chain-0-balance-data').Text The other option I was thinking was to run the python app on another VM, outside of Home Assistant, with the values being sent via MQTT. : Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH.Ĭould somebody please point me to an example where Selenium & webdriver is being used with Home Assistant, as my searches have not fared so well?

System: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (amd64 / qemux86-64) on Hyper V My system details: Appdaemon add-on version: 0.3.2 But I can’t figure out how/where to install Chromedriver and how to specify its location. I was thinking that Appdaemon would be the simplest way to run the script, so I installed the Appdaemon addon and configured Selenium package to be installed.

It’s working as expected in windows, I’d now like to run it from within Home Assistant once or twice daily, and have the values update relevant HA sensors. I have a python script that uses Selenium and Chrome Webdriver to log in to my bank website to scrape the account balances.
