Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to resolve compatibility issues between Selenium, geckodriver, Firefox, and ChromeDriver, and to configure InstaPy for web automation using Chrome.

Key Activities

• Checked versions of Geckodriver, Firefox, and Selenium to ensure compatibility.
• Resolved an attribute error related to the ‘Service’ object in Selenium’s WebDriver module.
• Configured InstaPy to work with ChromeDriver, including specifying the ChromeDriver path and updating Selenium WebDriver code to use a Service object.
• Addressed the SessionNotCreatedException error by updating ChromeDriver to match the Chrome browser version.

Achievements

• Successfully configured InstaPy to operate with ChromeDriver instead of geckodriver.
• Resolved compatibility issues and deprecated parameter usage in Selenium WebDriver code.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing of the InstaPy configuration with different versions of Chrome and ChromeDriver to ensure robustness.
• Monitor for any new deprecation warnings or compatibility issues in future Selenium updates.
