I'm new to python programming so bear with me!
I've recently downloaded Python 3.7.3 along with using pip to successfully install a number of add-on modules (including Numpy, Scipy, Matplotlib, Gamepy, Xlwings and Selenium).
With Selenium I'm trying to script a very simple .py file to navigate to google and to do a very simple search and then close the tab (code I've recorded, using the Katalon plugin, and issues I'm experiencing below!)
My code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoAlertPresentException
import unittest, time, re
class AppDynamicsJob(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
# AppDynamics will automatically override this web driver
# as documented in https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Write+Your+First+Script
self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
self.driver.implicitly_wait(30)
self.base_url = "https://www.google.com/"
self.verificationErrors = []
self.accept_next_alert = True
def test_app_dynamics_job(self):
driver = self.driver
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
driver.find_element_by_name("q").clear()
driver.find_element_by_name("q").send_keys("Test search")
driver.find_element_by_name("q").send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
driver.close()
def is_element_present(self, how, what):
try: self.driver.find_element(by=how, value=what)
except NoSuchElementException as e: return False
return True
def is_alert_present(self):
try: self.driver.switch_to_alert()
except NoAlertPresentException as e: return False
return True
def close_alert_and_get_its_text(self):
try:
alert = self.driver.switch_to_alert()
alert_text = alert.text
if self.accept_next_alert:
alert.accept()
else:
alert.dismiss()
return alert_text
finally: self.accept_next_alert = True
def tearDown(self):
# To know more about the difference between verify and assert,
# visit https://www.seleniumhq.org/docs/06_test_design_considerations.jsp#validating-results
self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors)
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()

Much of the I'm python files being referenced are the default files as part of the Selenium module so I'm not sure how the paths might have changed (I notice, for example, the service.py seems to be specific to the actual driver so it's in the individual browser folder..)
I was contemplating copying the service.py file from the Firefox folder, into the "common" folder.
Also, the subprocess.py file is throwing up errors and again, as these are library files, I'd have thought they wouldn't cause issues.. Has anybody experienced these and, if so, what have you done t get around this?
The blocks of code within subprocess.py are;
self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
pass_fds, cwd, env,
startupinfo, creationflags, shell,
p2cread, p2cwrite,
c2pread, c2pwrite,
errread, errwrite,
restore_signals, start_new_session)
and
try:
hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args,
# no special security
None, None,
int(not close_fds),
creationflags,
env,
os.fspath(cwd) if cwd is not None else None,
startupinfo)
