How to make Selenium2 work for Mac OS X with Firefox Nightly and Python

This is one of the shortest articles ever, almost nothing to explain here.

First, install Selenium2 through easy_install

sudo easy_install selenium

Then, simply go to the /Applications directory and create a symbolic link, because selenium looks for the Firefox binary in a  specific path:

$ cd /Applications
$ sudo ln -s FirefoxNightly.app Firefox.app

 

  • adsense



  • Time to test:

    $ python
    >>> from selenium import webdriver
    >>> ff = webdriver.Firefox()

     

    You should now see a new Firefox instance.

    That’s it.
