I am on OSX
I need to use PhantomJS in a Python#3.5 scrapper running with selenium. I wrote a working program without setting a virtual environnement first. It works fine, but now I started building a virtual environnement with virtualenv and copied my code inside the newly created environnement. Everything is working fine... But PhantomJs and Firefox.
I specified the path to phantomJS
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path=r'/Users/Me/.npm-packages/bin/phantomjs')
I get :
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /Users/Me/.npm-packages/bin/phantomjs unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127
I decided to try and install a nodeenv environnement inside my virtualenv.
I activated my virtualenv and did :
pip install nodeenv
Then:
nodeenv -p
returns an [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] error...
so I launched a new terminal window, and used a global nodeenv to install my node environnement :
nodeenv Path/To/MyVirtualEnv/MyNodeEnv
I then activated my NodeEnv environnement
Path/To/MyVirtualEnv/MyNodeEnv
. bin/activate
I installed PhantomJs:
npm install phantomjs
'Which phantomjs' still returns my globally installed phantomjs
I specified a new path to phantomJS anyway :
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path=r'/Path/To/MyVirtualEnv/MyNodeEnv/node_modules/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs')
... and I get the same error :
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /Users/PierreEligny/Documents/PRO/peecks_bot/nodeenv/node_modules/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127
I am stuck. Do you have any ideas what I could do or did wrong ? Thanks.
