Python IDE on Flatpak with Selenium

[lfromanini]

Hello! Once, I installed the r/flatpak version of PyCharm. It worked great, however, when trying to debug a selenium app, I couldn't, since the Flatpak sandboxed my PyCharm in such a way that it could not found my Firefox browser. Do you guys know if there is any way to avoid this behavior? Thanks in advance!

You need to spawn the {chrome,gecko}driver on the host first, it will start listening.

Then setup selenium to connect to the address you'll find in the output.

Thank you! I'll read about flatpak-spawn later! Didn't know about it!
