error while executing python scripts with selenium
-1
I have installed python, pip and selenium in my system and I'm testing a sample code on basic sites.
Code:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\Users\skandregula\PycharmProjects\sele\geckodriver.exe")
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
time.sleep(10)
driver.close()

driver = webdriver.Chrome("C:\Users\skandregula\PycharmProjects\sele\geckodriver.exe")
this line is attempting to launch an instance of a Chrome browser, but you are passing it the path to geckodriver.exe, which is the Webdriver for Firefox. You need to use chromedriver.exe for Chrome.
