Hide the firefox browser or virtual browser for window users..!

[ankitjain28may]

Selenium opens Firefox browser for executing the commands given to it.. But I want that the browser will not open or it may open.. But it should be virtual so user would not see it..!

[ankode]

i recommend using "mechanize" module.

[ankitjain28may]

Would u like to work on it @ankode

[suryatejreddy]

you can use pyvirtualdisplay, it will work for both windows and linux

[ankitjain28may]

Would u like to work on it

[suryatejreddy]

Yeah, the commit which i made before will work.

[ankitjain28may]

Send pr on contribution branch

[suryatejreddy]

install pip on windows (http://arunrocks.com/guide-to-install-python-or-pip-on-windows/)
then from terminal type , pip install xvfbwrapper

[ankitjain28may]

If i have made this script so obviously i hve pip installed and i hve checked it after installing xvfbwrapper but still its not working try to check it on your system(Wndows)

[dibyasonu]

Is this issue still open?? I hope to work on it if it is still open

[ankitjain28may]

Yes, this issue is still open.. You can work on this issue, you can use phantomjs browser

[dibyasonu]

Its not working with phantomjs , the login.click() command is not working after using phantomjs. Should i send a PR, so that u can tell what's the problem and i can try to fix.

[ankitjain28may]

No, I will clone your repo and check it out.

[dibyasonu]

k..let me upload it..

[ankitjain28may]

Sure

[dibyasonu]

Done...created it under a branch as it requires further tweaks
fb_using_python

Please do tell me how to fix it. I am a beginner in python as well as opensource contribution and hope to learn as much as possible. I am partcipating in the hacktoberfest too, so hoping to make a succesful pull request to this project

[ankitjain28may]

@dibyasonu Are you able to login using firefox ?

[ankitjain28may]

login.click() isn't working because facebook has changed the id of the login button

login = driver.find_element_by_css_selector("#u_0_5")
    login.click()

Try with this code or you can get it using developer tools of the browser.

[dibyasonu]

i have fixed the fb.py and sent a PR. I have mentioned about the changes in the PR comments, please tell me if something else is needed.
And i think the README.md needs to be changed too, as phantomjs browser is now being used in the project. So if u want i can create a PR for it. Please reply soon.

[ankitjain28may]

Ya sure make a new PR for readme.. N i will check changes soon..

[dibyasonu]

Did it work....?? I have already sent the PR
