Python selenium webdriver gets nothing but the browser normally shows the webpage

Source Code:

from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Safari()
html_doc = browser.get("http://www.google.com")
#html_doc is empty but the Safari window shows the page normally
#Allow Remote Automation is enabled

This is the first time I use Selenium, at first it worked normally, with html_doc normally gets the content, however, the problem occurred several hours later, and neither restart Python nor restart the computer worked. Thanks for any suggestions!

Solution

  • browser.get doesn't return anything, that's why html_doc is empty. If you want the page source you need to use page_source

    browser.get("http://www.google.com")
html_doc = browser.page_source
