    Hi Thomas,

     

    I have been dealing with selenium installation in a notebook environment without success. In my case, I'm trying to scrap content from a website that involves authentication so I cannot use the provided solution of using Beautifulsoup. So I have to stick to selenium.

     

    In that direction, I managed to provide the chromedriver, and make it executable but its execution failed due to the security constraints of the environment. So I found the following solution:

     

    SOLUTION

    - Using a remote selenium service via LambdaTest

     # Sample code snippet:
        driver = webdriver.Remote(
            command_executor=f'https://{lambda_test_username}:{lambda_test_access_key}@hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub',
            options=options
        )
     
    I hope this helps everyone whose solution has to be approached with selenium.
