hi guys:
   I am learning the worked process about selenium
   when I look at class WebDriver,__init__() function get self.start_session(capabilities)
so I try it with curl,(exp: curl -v -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:52038/session" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{"capabilities":{"firstMatch":[{}],"alwaysMatch":{"browserName":"chrome","pageLoadStrategy":"normal","browserVersion":null,"goog:chromeOptions":{"extensions":[],"binary":"C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe","args":[]}}}}')

so bad I got {"message":"invalid argument: missing command parameters"}

To start a session with Selenium WebDriver, you can use the start_session() method, typically through the WebDriver interface. Here's a short example:

python

from selenium import webdriver # Initialize the WebDriver and start a session driver = webdriver.Chrome() driver.get("https://example.com")

This begins a new session with the specified browser (Chrome in this case).

Selenium Training is key to mastering session management and understanding how to use WebDriver effectively for automation. By investing in selenium training, you’ll learn how to properly handle sessions and scale your automation efforts.
