I'am trying to automate whatsapp messages in pre-set time. I use pycharm ide.
See the sample code,
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import time
# Replace below path with the absolute path
# to chromedriver in your computer
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/home/saket/Downloads/chromedriver')
driver.get("https://web.whatsapp.com/")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 600)
# Replace 'Friend's Name' with the name of your friend
# or the name of a group
target = '"Friend\'s Name"'
# Replace the below string with your own message
string = "Message sent using Python!!!"
x_arg = '//span[contains(@title,' + target + ')]'
group_title = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((
By.XPATH, x_arg)))
group_title.click()
inp_xpath = '//div[@class="input"][@dir="auto"][@data-tab="1"]'
input_box = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((
By.XPATH, inp_xpath)))
for i in range(100):
input_box.send_keys(string + Keys.ENTER)
time.sleep(1)
I took this code from here
I replaced the chromedriver path in my computer to C:\Users\public\chromedriver.exe but after hit the run button It shows the path is error.
Here's the screenshot.
chrome driver location error on PC
Can you tell me why that happens though the location is correct?
