How to execute Python test in virtual environment

Question

I set up a virtual environment and installed selenium , py.test and webdriverdownloader furthermore I set up a system environment variable and added path to geckodriver

But when I executed Python test in command line it fails with error:

geckodriver executable needs to be in path

What went wrong from my side?

Answer 1

This has nothing to do with your virtualenv, it's that Selenium requires an external driver to work. Geckodriver is for using with Firefox and you can download it from Mozilla's GitHub . Once you have downloaded it, just make sure that it is on your PATH. See this post if you don't know how to do that.
