It is a fast and convenience package that can automatically download or update Selenium webdriver binaries and their browsers for different OS.
## Installation
Use the package manager [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) to install selenium_driver_updater.
```
pip install selenium-driver-updater
```
## Usage in code
This example shows how you can use this library to download chromedriver binary and use it immediately. The chromedriver will be downloaded to base directory.
```python
from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
filename = DriverUpdater.install(DriverUpdater.chromedriver)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(filename)
driver.get('https://google.com')
```
Or you can specify a path where you want to download a chromedriver to
```python
from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
import os
base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
filename = DriverUpdater.install(path=base_dir, driver_name=DriverUpdater.chromedriver)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(filename)
driver.get('https://google.com')
```
You can also specify the version type (beta, dev, canary) you want to download.
```python
from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
filename = DriverUpdater.install(driver_name=DriverUpdater.chromedriver, version=DriverUpdater.chromedriver_beta)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(filename)
driver.get('https://google.com')
```
You can also use library to download and update chromedriver and geckodriver binaries at the same time.
```python
from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
import os
base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
list_drivers = [DriverUpdater.chromedriver, DriverUpdater.geckodriver]
filenames = DriverUpdater.install(path=base_dir, driver_name=list_drivers)
print(filenames)
driver_chrome = webdriver.Chrome(filename[0])
driver_chrome.get('https://google.com')
driver_firefox = webdriver.Firefox(filename[1])
driver_firefox.get('https://google.com')
```
## Usage with help of command line
Use
```bash
selenium-driver-updater --help
```
To see all available arguments and commands
Or you can use alias
```bash
selupd --help
```
for easier use
This example shows how you can use this console updater to download chromedriver to current dir
```bash
selenium-driver-updater -d chromedriver
```
Or you can use console updater to download chromedriver and geckodriver at the same time
```bash
selenium-driver-updater -d chromedriver,geckodriver
```
