webdriver-manager-zh 4.0.3
Library provides the way to automatically manage drivers for different browsers
Requires Python: >=3.7

# Webdriver Manager for Python

project source code address: https://github.com/SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager

Thank you to the webdriver_manager author!

modify:

to use ChromeDriverManager, values must be passed to the url and latest_release_url 

url to retrieve known-good-versions-with-downloads.json data from GitLab

latest_release_url to retrieve latest-patch-versions-per-build.json data from GitLab

you need synchronize 
'https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/known-good-versions-with-downloads.json'
and 
'https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/latest-patch-versions-per-build.json' 
to gitlab

In addition, os.environ['GH_TOKEN '] must be set,this is the PRIMATE-TOKEN from Gitlab

```python
os.environ['GH_TOKEN'] = 'xxxx'
ChromeDriverManager(url=url, latest_release_url=latest_release_url).install()
```

## Support the library on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/automation_remarks)

The main idea is to simplify management of binary drivers for different browsers.

For now support:

- [ChromeDriver](#use-with-chrome)
- [EdgeChromiumDriver](#use-with-edge)
- [GeckoDriver](#use-with-firefox)
- [IEDriver](#use-with-ie)
- [OperaDriver](#use-with-opera)

Compatible with Selenium 4.x and below.

Before:
You need to download the chromedriver binary, unzip it somewhere on your PC and set the path to this driver like this:

```python
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/home/user/drivers/chromedriver')
```

It’s boring!!! Moreover, every time a new version of the driver is released, you need to repeat all these steps again and again.

With webdriver manager, you just need to do two simple steps:

#### Install manager:

```bash
pip install webdriver-manager-zh
```

#### Use with Chrome

```python
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
```
```python
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
```

#### Use with Chromium

```python
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.os_manager import ChromeType

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.CHROMIUM).install())
```

```python
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromiumService
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.os_manager import ChromeType

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromiumService(ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.CHROMIUM).install()))
```

#### Use with Brave

```python
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.os_manager import ChromeType

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.BRAVE).install())
```

```python
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as BraveService
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.os_manager import ChromeType

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=BraveService(ChromeDriverManager(chrome_type=ChromeType.BRAVE).install()))
```


#### Use with Edge

```python
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager_zh.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Edge(EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install())
```
```python
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service as EdgeService
from webdriver_manager_zh.microsoft import EdgeChromiumDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Edge(service=EdgeService(EdgeChromiumDriverManager().install()))
```

#### Use with Firefox

```python
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager_zh.firefox import GeckoDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install())
```
```python
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service as FirefoxService
from webdriver_manager_zh.firefox import GeckoDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=FirefoxService(GeckoDriverManager().install()))
```

#### Use with IE

```python
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager_zh.microsoft import IEDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Ie(IEDriverManager().install())
```
```python
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.ie.service import Service as IEService
from webdriver_manager_zh.microsoft import IEDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Ie(service=IEService(IEDriverManager().install()))
```


#### Use with Opera

```python
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome import service
from webdriver_manager_zh.opera import OperaDriverManager

webdriver_service = service.Service(OperaDriverManager().install())
webdriver_service.start()

driver = webdriver.Remote(webdriver_service.service_url, webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.OPERA)
```
```python
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome import service
from webdriver_manager_zh.opera import OperaDriverManager

webdriver_service = service.Service(OperaDriverManager().install())
webdriver_service.start()

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option('w3c', True)

driver = webdriver.Remote(webdriver_service.service_url, options=options)
```

If the Opera browser is installed in a location other than `C:/Program Files` or `C:/Program Files (x86)` on Windows
and `/usr/bin/opera` for all unix variants and mac, then use the below code,

```python
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.binary_location = "path/to/opera.exe"
driver = webdriver.Remote(webdriver_service.service_url, options=options)
```

#### Get browser version from path

To get the version of the browser from the executable of the browser itself:

```python
from webdriver_manager_zh.firefox import GeckoDriverManager

from webdriver_manager_zh.core.utils import read_version_from_cmd 
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.os_manager import PATTERN

version = read_version_from_cmd("/usr/bin/firefox-bin --version", PATTERN["firefox"])
driver_binary = GeckoDriverManager(version=version).install()
```

#### Custom Cache, File manager and OS Manager

```python
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.file_manager import FileManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.driver_cache import DriverCacheManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.os_manager import OperationSystemManager

cache_manager = DriverCacheManager(file_manager=FileManager(os_system_manager=OperationSystemManager()))
manager = ChromeDriverManager(cache_manager=cache_manager)
os_manager = OperationSystemManager(os_type="win64")
```

## Configuration

**webdriver_manager_zh** has several configuration variables you can be interested in.
Any variable can be set using either .env file or via python directly

### `GH_TOKEN`
**webdriver_manager_zh** downloading some webdrivers from their official GitHub repositories but GitHub has [limitations](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting) like 60 requests per hour for unauthenticated users.
In case not to face an error related to GitHub credentials, you need to [create](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use) GitHub token and place it into your environment: (\*)

Example:

```bash
export GH_TOKEN = "asdasdasdasd"
```

(\*) access_token required to work with GitHub API [more info](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/).

There is also possibility to set same variable via ENV VARIABLES, example:

```python
import os

os.environ['GH_TOKEN'] = "asdasdasdasd"
```

### `WDM_LOG`
Turn off webdriver-manager-zh logs use:

```python
import logging
import os

os.environ['WDM_LOG'] = str(logging.NOTSET)
```

### `WDM_LOCAL`
By default, all driver binaries are saved to user.home/.wdm folder. You can override this setting and save binaries to project.root/.wdm.

```python
import os

os.environ['WDM_LOCAL'] = '1'
```

### `WDM_SSL_VERIFY`
SSL verification can be disabled for downloading webdriver binaries in case when you have troubles with SSL Certificates or SSL Certificate Chain. Just set the environment variable `WDM_SSL_VERIFY` to `"0"`.

```python
import os

os.environ['WDM_SSL_VERIFY'] = '0'
```

### `version`
Specify the version of webdriver you need. And webdriver-manager-zh will download it from sources for your os.
```python
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

ChromeDriverManager(driver_version="2.26").install()
```

### `cache_valid_range`
Driver cache by default is valid for 1 day. You are able to change this value using constructor parameter:

```python
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.driver_cache import DriverCacheManager

ChromeDriverManager("2.26", cache_manager=DriverCacheManager(valid_range=1)).install()
```

### `os_type`
For some reasons you may use custom OS/arch. You are able to change this value using constructor parameter:

```python
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.os_manager import OperationSystemManager

ChromeDriverManager(os_system_manager=OperationSystemManager(os_type="linux-mips64")).install()
```

### `url`
You may use any other repo with drivers and release URl. You are able to change this value using constructor parameters:

```python
from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

ChromeDriverManager(url="https://custom-repo.url", latest_release_url="https://custom-repo.url/LATEST").install()
```

---

### Custom Logger

If you need to use a custom logger, you can create a logger and set it with `set_logger()`.

```python
import logging
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.logger import set_logger

logger = logging.getLogger("custom_logger")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
logger.addHandler(logging.FileHandler("custom.log"))

set_logger(logger)
```

---

### Custom HTTP Client
If you need to add custom HTTP logic like session or proxy you can define your custom HttpClient implementation.

```python
import os

import requests
from requests import Response

from webdriver_manager_zh.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.download_manager import WDMDownloadManager
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.http import HttpClient
from webdriver_manager_zh.core.logger import log

class CustomHttpClient(HttpClient):

    def get(self, url, params=None, **kwargs) -> Response:
        """
        Add you own logic here like session or proxy etc.
        """
        log("The call will be done with custom HTTP client")
        return requests.get(url, params, **kwargs)


def test_can_get_chrome_driver_with_custom_http_client():
    http_client = CustomHttpClient()
    download_manager = WDMDownloadManager(http_client)
    path = ChromeDriverManager(download_manager=download_manager).install()
    assert os.path.exists(path)
```
