I’m trying to experiment with some code I found at the repo
https://github.com/AlbanyCompSci/aeries-api
basically to help me login in to this grade portal called aeries and pull my kids high school grades. But I keep getting errors related to “phantomjs”. Also before it was throwing an error about chrome needing to be headless.
I’ve got some examples below where I’m loading the module from a local directory and I’ve added the some code to try to resolve the errors. I’m running it on a mac in a jupyter notebook with python 3.6. Any tips greatly appreciated.
Code:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import Main as m
import Gradebooks as Gb
import GradebookDetails as GD
import Assignments as Ag
import AeriesSession as Ar
# below added to try to resolve phantomjs errors
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument('headless')
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='/Users/username/Desktop/Stuff/Aeries/api_version/phantomjs-2.1.1-macosx/bin/phantomjs.exe')
Warning:
