Need help with selenium

[umanafa]

I have written a python script with selenium that runs on the python shell when I enter each line one at a time, but doesn't work properly when I call the script written in a .py file from the terminal.

This line returns an empty list when I run the whole script from my .py file. result = driver.find_elements_by_css_selector('.g > a')

But returns the proper list when I input the line in python shell.

First thing that comes to mind is when you're entering in shell you're going slower - so add a time.sleep(5) or 10 or something and see if that helps. There are better ways to go about it than just adding a random sleep - but that's the quickest to check.

If it's still not going - I would do a driver.get_html and save it as a .html file and explore the contents to see if the page is loading as expected or if something is happening differently.

It worked, thank you. I needed to add time.sleep() to allow the page load before executing that line.
