Issue
I am attempting to use a Firefox/Selenium instance as a rudimentary slideshow for images. The idea is that I will open a webdriver
and driver.get()
files from a local directory.
When I run the following, I receive an error:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Tried to run command without establishing a connection
My assumption is that selenium is attempting to test the next driver.get()
request and is not allowing a local, non web-connected, connection is there a way to bypass this behavior? My code example appears below:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from os import listdir
from selenium.common.exceptions import WebDriverException
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
image_source = '/home/pi/Desktop/slideshow/photo_frames/daniel/images/'
for file in listdir(image_source):
if file.endswith('jpg'):
file_name = image_source + file
driver.get(file_name)
time.sleep(5)
UPDATE: I should add that the same basic script structure works for websites - I can loop through several websites without any errors.
Solution
I think you are just need to add file://
to the filename. This works for me:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
from os import listdir
from selenium.common.exceptions import WebDriverException
def main():
image_source = '/home/pi/Desktop/slideshow/photo_frames/daniel/images/'
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
try:
for file in listdir(image_source):
if file.endswith('jpg'):
file_name = 'file://' + image_source + file
driver.get(file_name)
time.sleep(5)
finally:
driver.quit()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
