Splinter: DriverNotFoundError for zope.testbrowser

[Teshan Nanayakkara]

I am using Python Splinter to automate a website and to scrape data from it. When I use the default browser mode which is keeping blank in Browser() it opens firefox and completes the written task but, when I use the headless browser 'zope.testbrowser', I get the following error. What should I need to do here?

   

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pysplinter.py", line 4, in <module>
    browser = Browser('zope.testbrowser')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/splinter/browser.py", line 62, in Browser
    raise DriverNotFoundError("No driver for %s" % driver_name)
splinter.exceptions.DriverNotFoundError: No driver for zope.testbrowser

Hi Teshan,

To use zope.testbrowser you should have to install zope.testbrowser.
You can do it using the following command:

pip install splinter[zope.testbrowser]

Hi Andrew,

I have installed it the way you have mentioned earlier but I guess the problem still persist. Again I ran the line you have given and it says to run --upgrade.

Then I used "sudo pip install splinter[zope.testbrowser] --upgrade" command and after a long update process at the end it throws the following exception in red.

Anyway to fix this?

Exception:

Hi,

your pip version is too old. Can you upgrade pip and try again? To
upgrade you can use: "pip install -U pip"
