Invalid argument error thrown. - pyseeker - Sep-09-2019
Hello,
While running the following code an error thrown with "invalid argument". Appreciate your thoughts.
with open(dataFile, 'r') as urlFile:
urlFile.readline()
for url in urlFile:
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('url', )
link = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body")
link.click()
urlFile.close()Error is as below :Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is the code which opens the url and after loading the page, it will kill the driver. Again it will open another session for next link in the file and it will close the driver once loading is done
import selenium.webdriver
with open('dataFile.txt', 'r') as urlFile:
for url in urlFile.readlines():
print(url)
driver = selenium.webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\Users\Malathi\Downloads\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get(url, )
link = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body")
link.click()
driver.quit()
urlFile.close()

It worked very well. But it is just not fast enough as I thought. Working well though.
