Package: python3-selenium
Version: 4.13.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: d...@shallowsky.com
Dear Maintainer,
The current selenium package fails to create either webdriver.Firefox() or
webdriver.Chrome(). I have firefox, chromium, and geckodriver (downloaded from
mozilla.org github) all in my path.
The error is a KeyError: 'CONDA_PREFIX' because it's trying to access
os.environ["CONDA_PREFIX"]. I don't have CONDA_PREFIX set because I don't use
conda. I tried setting it to '' but I just got a slightly different error. I've
tried setting the path to the firefox executable even though it's in my path,
but it didn't help.
selenium via pip install selenium works fine, at least for webdriver.Firefox()
(webdriver.Chrome() eventually works but takes several minutes to pop up a
window, I haven't looked into why) and doesn't give any errors regarding conda.
Here's the full error message and how to reproduce it:
>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox()
Traceback (most recent call last):
