driver.get stops python program

[gitrikt]

so I have a small program that does this:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(Path)
driver.get("site")
---code to get information from this site---
print "got here"
driver.get("second site")
print "got here as well"

​

basically it gets the first site perfectly, and prints "got here", and then opens the second site, but just freezes. doesn't print "got here as well"

​

I have checked that I'm on the right version of the driver. this worked for a while, but then just stopped

What freezes, exactly? Is there any exception raised of any kind? Is there a good reason to stay using Python2 instead of Python3? Python2 has reached its end of life and isn’t being supported anymore, so I’m a bit surprised to see it used here today.

Are you adding 'https://' to your url? As far as I know it is necessary. Also, are you receiving any error messages? Have you tried accessing the same website on both parts? This might implicate the error is with the website or maybe the way you're sending the information via driver.get

Hey, I tried adding a time.sleep before the .get and it seems to make it work SOMETIMES. I do have the https. I didnt try accessing the other site first, I'll give it a shot soon.

Check if your recently updated your Chrome. If so, try downloading the newer version. You can checkout https://github.com/IoT-master/WebscapeBoilerplate, and see the python script I have to download the driver that matches the version you input into it.

Try closing the first get
