Selenium program execution does not start using Python Class

Question

Here is the code

class InstogramBot():

    def __init__(self, username, password):
        self.username = username
        self.password = password
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    def close_browser(self):
        self.driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/")
        time.sleep(5)
        name_input = self.driver.find_element_by_name("username")
        name_input.send_keys(username)
        time.sleep(2)
        password_input = self.driver.find_element_by_name("password")
        password_input.send_keys(password)
        time.sleep(2)
        self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="loginForm"]/div/div[3]/button/div').click()
        time.sleep(7)
        self.driver.close()
        self.driver.quit()

Selenium doesn't show up and doesn't even open the web driver

Answer 1

While using Python you need to consider the following:

• Python being an object oriented programming language, everything in Python is represented as an object along with its properties and methods.
• A Class in Python is the object constructor i.e. the mechanism for creating the objects.

---

Your program

The code block you have written includes the definition of the Class and the only method.

To initiate a successful execution, you need to create an instance, i.e an object of the class InstogramBot()

bot = InstogramBot("Рома", "Рома")

Finally, you need to invoke the method close_browser() through the object.

bot.close_browser()

---

Solution

Your effective code block will be:

from selenium import webdriver

class InstogramBot():

    def __init__(self, username, password):
    self.username = username
    self.password = password
    self.driver = webdriver.Chrome()

    def close_browser(self):
    self.driver.get("https://www.instagram.com/")
    time.sleep(5)
    name_input = self.driver.find_element_by_name("username")
    name_input.send_keys(username)
    time.sleep(2)
    password_input = self.driver.find_element_by_name("password")
    password_input.send_keys(password)
    time.sleep(2)
    self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="loginForm"]/div/div[3]/button/div').click()


bot = InstogramBot("Рома", "Рома")
bot.close_browser()
