fixed bug to download geckodriver on linux 64bit

[LeydenJar]

So, Even after filtering for the filenames wich matches linux os and that are 64 bit, the list filename still had 2 elements on it.

One was something like 'geckodriver-version.tar.gz' and the other was 'geckodriver-version.tar.gz.asc'

So this was making me fall into that exception

if len(filename) != 1: info_message = "Error, unable to determine correct filename for {0}bit {1}".format(bitness, os_name) logger.error(info_message)

So i just added this filtering to remove anything ending in asc from the filename list. Looks like it should be consistent

Could you be more specific where I have to change? I dont really understand.

On the webdriverdownloader.py you change the line 320 from
filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name + bitness in name]
to
filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name + bitness in name and name[-3:] != 'asc' ]

[LeydenJar]

A consideration: Maybe we should do something like

filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name + bitness in name and name[-7:] == '.tar.gz' ]

this seems slightly more consistent. Not a big deal tho...

This worked for me!

it says "that i dont have permission to edit this file" i tried to sudo gedit ~/usr/lib..../webdriverdownloader it opened a space so i can type but the file isnt there. so i pasted the code from there to the new file but it says that the location doesnt even exist. lol help me pls. XD new to ubuntu and stuff. @LeydenJar anyone?

[LeydenJar]

@nupator try pasting this in the command line

pip show webdriverdownloader

this will give you some information about the webdriverdownloader package, including the path where it's located.

###Also if i did pip install webdriverdownloader it shows me this

[LeydenJar]

@nupator looks like the package is installed on /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/

Try to go there and use the ls command to see what's in there. Maybe navigating like this you can find the file.
Also don't forget to add ".py" at the end of the file name.

you want to do something like sudo nano /path/to/file/filename.py

I just wonder why pip show doesn't give you anything. Maybe you have conflicts between different pips. Are you using a virtual environment? Maybe you should consider it.

[nupator]

yes this is a virtual machine. no such file or directory. so i did the nano but for /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ only

@LeydenJar
👍

[LeydenJar]

@nupator ok so, the cd command should be used to change the directory. As you specified the path to a .py file, it won't work cause it's a .py file and not a directory.

Try to cd on /usr/local/lib/......./dist-packages, then use the ls command to see if you can see the webdriverdownloader.py there.

If it is you should be able to use something like sudo nano webdriverdownloader.py and make the edits.

On the webdriverdownloader.py you change the line 320 from
filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name + bitness in name]
to
filename = [name for name in filenames if os_name + bitness in name and name[-3:] != 'asc' ]

I couldn’t find the similar code on line 320 it’s some other code their

    filename = filename[0]

    result = json_data['assets'][filenames.index(filename)]['browser_download_url']
    logger.info("Download URL: {0}".format(result))
    return result
