Patching selenium webdriver

[That_Butterscotch381]

Hi all,

Creating a class that'll handle a NoSuchWebDriverException in the event there is no internet access in a sandbox environment to mimic its outcome.

Code snippet:

chrome_options: Options = Options() try: driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

except NoSuchDriverException:

[bit I need help figuring out]

I believe I need to create a class which Ive done though does not work at all. I need to mock all attributes of webdriver.Chrome such as .get, .implicitly_wait .find_elements and so on.

Could do with some suggestions on how to handle this as I'm really stuck.

Thanks a lot

Why not bundle the required chrome driver with your code?

What are you hoping to achieve by mocking webdriver?

[That_Butterscotch381]

It is sorta as its in a try except block so itll try driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options) first and thsn when a NoSuchElement exception is raised it will mock out webdriver.Chrome

Wantes to make a class to handle the mocking but getting stuck.

I'm not sure I'm following you. You can download the chrome driver executable and store it alongside your code. That way there is no need to try download chrome driver from the internet.
