--- Begin Message ---Hello Tobias, Debian isn't providing the needed selenium-manager in any package. I've put some related information about the reason and a poetnetial hint about to be able to use paython3-selenium anyway in the also included README file. $ less /usr/share/doc/python3-selenium/README.Debian | tail -n 40 python3-selenium >= 4.11.2+dfsg1 and Selenium Manager ----------------------------------------------------- Upstream restructured the source code so the Selenium Manager is now needed to act as a middle layer which will search for available driver interfaces. Selenium Manager is a binary tool generated using Rust that provides automated driver management for Google Chrome, Chromium, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. At the time of writing it's not packaged for Debian. In order to make python3-selenium usable with this new circumstance you will need to adjust your source in a way to choose the used driver directly and skip the calling of the manager code in Selenium. Please have a look at the following example how to archieve this. -----%<---- # other includes from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService # potential other existing python code in your application # to prepare your setup # set the to used driver, here as example for the chrome-driver service = ChromeService(executable_path="/usr/bin/chromedriver") # give the chosen driver as option to the intatioation of Chrome() driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = chrome_options, service = service) # more code potentially comes here ----->%---- You might want to look at the autopkgtest for python-selenium to see the adaption of the manually setup for the driver to use. https://sources.debian.org/src/python-selenium/4.11.2%2Bdfsg-1/debian/tests/test-chromium/ -- Carsten Schoenert <[email protected]> Fri, 1 Sep 2023 21:33:09 +0530 The adaption of this into an arm64 system is straightforward.
