Python selenium - compile with embedded webdriver and browser

Question

I want to automate webpage interaction which involves clicking several buttons on the Web UI. I decided to use selenium.

Fortunately, my tests with selenium were successful. However, I will be compiling the script using pyinstaller and shipping the compiled version of the script to end users. The problem is I wouldn't know which browser they use nor can I ask them to install webdrivers.

Is there a way to embed webdriver and browser in compiled binary?

Answer 1

You could try to use the —add-binary argument In pyinstaller to add the chromedriver as binary and in your script call the driver (eg chromedriver) from a relative path:

webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver/path')

See pyinstaller docs for more info.
