How to set the page_source of selenium yourself in python3?
Question
I am writing an application using selenium. I know that you can use the webdriver.Firefox 's get method to get the webpage like this:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'geckodriver')
driver.get('file://' + os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) + '/index.html')
driver.page_source # get the source
But instead of opening a webpage and and getting source from there, I want to provide the source myself like this:
driver.page_source = '<body><h1>Hello</h1></body>'
And then be able to perform the normal selenium operations, for example:
driver.find_element_by_tag_name('<h1>')
But since Firefox.page_source is a @property i can't set it manually. Does anyone know a work around that? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

you can open it with Data URLs, it prefixed with the data: scheme
htmlString = '<body><h1>Hello</h1></body>'
driver.get("data:text/html;charset=utf-8," + htmlString);
h1 = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('h1')
print(h1.text)
Length limitations : 65535 characters
or without length limitation you can append the string using javascript method execute_script()
htmlString = '<html><body></body></html>'
driver.get("data:text/html;charset=utf-8," + htmlString);
largeHTMLString = '<h1>Hello</h1>'
driver.execute_script('document.body.innerHTML=arguments[0]', largeHTMLString)
h1 = driver.find_element_by_tag_name('h1')
print(h1.text)

If you don't mind parsing with beautiful soup, this is how I would handle that problem:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# Define the code
page_source = '<body><h1>Hello</h1></body>'
# Parse it using Beautiful Soup
soup = BeautifulSoup(page_source , 'lxml')
# Search for the result by the tag name
table = soup.findAll('name')
Hope that helps.
