Python script in selenium

Question

I am new to both selenium and python.

I have exported the script from selenium IDE and when i am trying to execute the script in python i am receiving error as below,

EException AttributeError: "'Service' object has no attribute 'log_file'" in <bo
und method Service.__del__ of <selenium.webdriver.firefox.service.Service object
 at 0x0000000002AA4550>> ignored
======================================================================

    self.service = Service(executable_path, log_path=log_path)

There is error: Permission denied: 'geckodriver.log'

Try to find 'geckodriver.log' by: locate geckodriver.log
chmod 777 geckodriver.log

This is not a good idea. Solving a 'permission denied' on a file by just handing everyone all rights to it is hardly a secure solution. – Nelewout Feb 02 '17 at 13:05
I have expected this answer, but for test can help. If it is same issue as linked answer it cannot help at all. – jsonnek Feb 02 '17 at 13:22
I am using it in windows machine. – sam Feb 03 '17 at 09:26
Even after providing full control to the geckodriver.log i am still viewing the same error. – sam Feb 03 '17 at 11:30
In my machine path of geckodriver.log is in c:\python27\. Please let me know is it the correct path – sam Feb 03 '17 at 11:32

Had same problem, found this: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/3128

Using their proposed workaround of constructing webdriver with log_path specified in python script has fixed issue for me. Detail of workaround is:

ensure that OS is in includes
at statement: self.driver = webdriver.Firefox() change to: self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(log_path = os.devnull)

Good news is that the post says it was a bug that has been corrected in more recent versions.
