Firefox, Python. AttributeError: type object 'Options' has no attribute '_ignore_local_proxy'

Hello!

I've just started learning selenium and already run into an issue.

I try to start a session and quit it but get an error message:

(selenium_tests_env) PS C:\disk\auto\selenium_tests> python .\tests\sessions.py
C:\disk\auto\selenium_tests\tests\sessions.py:7: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
  driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\geckodriver.exe', options=options)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\disk\auto\selenium_tests\tests\sessions.py", line 7, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\geckodriver.exe', options=options)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: type object 'Options' has no attribute '_ignore_local_proxy'

My code is:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

options = Options
options.binary_location = r'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'

driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\geckodriver.exe', options=options)
driver.quit()

Any ideas are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

SOLVED

The issue was fixed with two lines of code.

1. options = Options

    This line is wrong. Should be: options = Options()

     Parenthesis matter! "Parentheses create a new object; no parentheses refers to the class of object itself."

     Solution found here.

2. options.ignore_local_proxy_environment_variables()

    This line solved the key problem.

    Solution found here.

Final working code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

options = Options()

options.binary_location = r'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'

options.ignore_local_proxy_environment_variables()
