BS4 warns about explicitly setting the parser to be used

[ztane]

I got the following warning with the latest BeautifulSoup4 and robobrowser from PyPI and Python 3.5

UserWarning: No parser was explicitly specified, so I'm using the best available HTML parser for this system ("html.parser"). This usually isn't a problem, but if you run this code on another system, or in a different virtual environment, it may use a different parser and behave differently.

To get rid of this warning, change this:

BeautifulSoup([your markup])

to this:

BeautifulSoup([your markup], "html.parser")

I think robobrowser should specify the parser to get repeatable results

I have the same problem. A very annoying message to see every time I run.

You can specify the parser when instantiating the Browser object (the value to specify is "parser").

I think a better solution is to make this clear in the documentation.

Hi, I also have some problem, is someone here have a solution ?

@fananimi See my comment above yours

further clarification for @sfgasdfsafggfgg comment:

browser = RoboBrowser(parser='html.parser')
