I’m fairly new to coding with Python and I had some questions regarding Selenium:
So basically what I’m trying is:
-user inputs multiple links to different sites
-the script opens the first link and closes the browser afterwards and opens the next link
-the user only inputs for example ‘google.com’ but the browser automatically opens ‘http://google.com’ (thats the reason why I try to append the link and the ‘http’ variable)
but I always have the following error code: line 18, in <module> driver.get(url)
and Chrome opens a new tab with ‘data:,’ as the URL
from selenium import webdriver from time import sleep http = list() http = ['http://'] input_1 = input('Site: ').split() link = http.append(input_1) driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:...chromedriver.exe') for url in link: driver.set_window_size(1920, 1080) driver.get(url) sleep(4) driver.quit()

Your logic/syntax is wrong. You have to fix the way you are attaching the ‘http://’ part. Following code is working for me:
from selenium import webdriver from time import sleep
http = 'http://' input_1 = input('Site: ').split() link = [http + site for site in input_1] driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:...chromedriver.exe') for url in link: driver.set_window_size(1920, 1080) driver.get(url) sleep(4) driver.quit()
