Trouble installing Selenium2Library

[Matt Rossner]

Hi,

Sorry if this is obvious but I'm new to Python and I'm having some issues getting Selenium2Library to work.

I'm running Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). I had previously installed Macports for some other applications, it seems everything python is using brew, from what I've read it's not a good idea to have both installed. So I've been installing all the Robot stuff manually which generally is:

• Download a tar
• Untar it
• python setup.py install

This all worked fine, I got the Selenium library installed and was able to run some basic tests. Although I then realized there's a Selenium 2 library which uses web driver which I am more familiar with. So I did the usual "python setup.py install" and it seemed to run ok (no error messages), but when I try to run a test (even the demo that comes with it I get this message:

[ ERROR ] Error in file '/Users/matt.rossner/Downloads/robotframework-selenium2library-1.5.0/demo/login_tests/resource.txt': Importing test library 'Selenium2Library' failed: ImportError: No module named Selenium2Library

  .
  /Users/matt.rossner/Downloads/robotframework-selenium2library-1.5.0

Ok so I looked in the paths listed under PYTHONPATH and it doesn't seem to be there. Actually in this path "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages" I can see "SeleniumLibrary" is there but not #2.

So I don't know if #2 is actually installed, even though the installer script says it is. Maybe I need to uninstall #1, but not really sure how to do that. Guess I'll Google around on that for now, but if anyone here has a better explanation I would really appreciate that.

Thanks

Matt

Hi,

I have some idea about what your problem might be.
Selenium2Library has some dependencies. If you install it using your approach, you would also have to install those dependencies before:
- decorator-3.4.0
- selenium-2.39.0
You can install them like you installed Selenium2Library (untar them and run python setup.py install).

Regards,
Nicu.

if it doesnot work then,
Go for this :

And then try installing the selenium library.

Matt,

Did you resolve your issue? If not could you retry the "python setup.py install" command for the selenium2library and post the output.  That should have installed it under /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages. Also at the terminal you might try "which python" to verify you are using that, /Library/Python/2.7, python version (This should work under OSX but I'll note I am familiar with Linux and Windows and rarely used OSX).

Hi,

Why did you not simply "pip install robotframework-selenium2library" ?

It worked for me like a charm on OSX Mavericks + MacPorts Python 2.7

Ah ! You need Firefox  too, I don't think Safari is supported.

For selenium 2 u need to install decorator which is base for webdriver and then install selenium2library . Now Firefox browser 28/29/31 will work without any issues. To cross verify whether u have installed successfully type

Pip list - output will be all installed python ext along with its version
