TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'service_log_path'

[LLinden]

Hi,

When I try to run a robot test I'm getting the following error:

TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'service_log_path'

Similar to this resolved issue: #1419

Although I'm using Chrome and I've already using the latest versions of SeleniumLibarary, Chromedriver and Robot.

python --version
Python 3.11.4

robot --version
Robot Framework 6.0.2 (Python 3.11.4 on win32)

chromedriver --version
ChromeDriver 114.0.5735.90

I've installed SeleniumLibary today via pip install --upgrade robotframework-seleniumlibrary

Chrome version: 114.0.5735.110 64 bits

The project that I'm using is this:
https://gitlab.com/bftft/robot-framework-testautomationu-2022/-/tree/main/

An exemple of test that I'm trying to run is this:
https://gitlab.com/bftft/robot-framework-testautomationu-2022/-/tree/main/005-TestCases

first-test-case.ansewer.robot

I appreciate any help.

@LLinden I recognize that project. That is Paul Merrill's Test Automation course. I will take a look and see what I can see ..

[LLinden]

@emanlove yes, it is! I'm using to learn Robot Framework. Thank you very much.

In another machine the project was working, but when I migrate to a new one and had to reinstall all the programs needed I encontered this error.

[emanlove]

I did a quick check and I see the same error. I have a few things over the next few hours which will take me offline. But if I can't resolve within the next hour I will work on it this evening

@emanlove thanks a lot!

The quick fix seems to be to downgrade selenium to 4.9.0 which you can do by typing at the command prompt pip install selenium==4.9.0. (I'll note that is you are either using a virtualenv or possible some IDEs like PyCharm then you will need to make sure you install the python package under the correct instance of Python)

Still need time time see what is going on and check to see if Selenium 4.10.0, which I see just got released 4 hours ago, broke something that either SeleniumLibrary needs to fix or selenium possibly.

[LLinden]

I see.
The quick fix worked! Thank you very much for the quick response @emanlove great job!

I will check tonight to see if there is a larger problem. Thanks for reporting this as I can make a notice in our Slack channel as well.

I'm using robot framework and got:
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'service_log_path'
I use robotframework-seleniumlibrary=6.0.0,
6.1.0, 5.1.3 , 4.5.0 are not working.
Any ideas?

Hello,

I'm running following setup:

• python --version: Python 3.8.2
• robot --version: Robot Framework 6.0.2 (Python 3.8.2 on win32)
• pip packages
  • robotframework==6.0.2
  • robotframework-pythonlibcore==4.1.2
  • robotframework-seleniumlibrary==6.1.0
  • selenium==4.10.0

When opening browser using either gecko or chromedrive, I get following errors:

• gecko: TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'firefox_profile'
• chrome: TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'service_log_path'

Downgrading to selenium 4.9.0 using pip install selenium==4.9.0 fixed the issue. Thanks a lot @emanlove !

[emanlove]

@anthonphax try downgrading your selenium to 4.9.0 which can be done with pip install selenium=4.9.0. Is this does not resolve your problem reach out again.

[emanlove]

Updated I should also note I completely missed there is a v4.9.1 of selenium [changelog here] which one should downgrade (temporarily to that). So pip install selenium==4.9.1. Either v4.9.0 or 4.9.1 will work and I do prefer the latest working version so I suggest v4.9.1.

[tvigneshnayak]

pip install selenium==4.9.0

@emanlove thanks for the solution. It worked for me. I was using selenium 4.10.0 and Robot Framework 6.1 (Python 3.11.3 on win32 , OS - windows 11 pro). After downgrading to selenium 4.9.0, it is working fine.

But I am facing a problem, if you have time, let me know the solution.

@tvigneshnayak As that issue appears distinctly different than the main issue of this thread, it would be best to open a new issue so you get the best support and provided visibility and understanding to others.

[anthonphax]

@emanlove solved this by including selenium==4.9.1 and robotframework-seleniumlibrary==6.0.0 on my build. tks!

service_log_path along with a few other options were removed as they are now deprecated:

SeleniumHQ/selenium@9f5801c

This will require a bigish update to SeleniumLIbrary to switch to using a Service :(
