Glad to hear that😊

Hi Jasim, thank you very much for your python web automation tutorials. Very good videos. Really love them. You explained everything so well. :) I wanted to watch you tutorials again, but part 7 is missing / was deleted from the playlist. Can you upload it again? Your subscriber from Hong Kong.

[@CodeBand]

Very glad to hear that... Part 7 was removed by KZbin followed by a Community Guidelines Strike (I don't know why that happens)... Anyways, I will try to re-upload the video soon...😊

Thanks a lot❤️

Hi sir. My app scrapes news site, extract urls and writes to .txt file. Next, scrapes again and if will find new urls write to .txt file again (add new urls to txt file, save and close). But app works incorrectly in Heroku. My txt file every time empty, I know, Heroku doesn't have a file system. App in every scrape show same urls. Disappear each time. Can I use your method? For example, app scrspes site, extract urls and sends to external db, next check stes urls and external db urls, if will find new urls add to external db? Or it doesn't work? Please, help me!

[@CodeBand]

As you are aware of, in Heroku, files will not persist. And what you mentioned is correct and one of the preferred way to do this. Use Database. 😊

[@luckyalexander9263]

Pls is it possible to make a web application that that automates loging and Click s?

[@georgiosionas9842]

Many Thanks for the Chromedriver Tutorial on Heroku I was wondering how we could add extensions to chrome on heroku?

[@CodeBand]

Thanks a lot...and about extensions..do a quick research..keep going😊

[@VictorSilalahi]

Hi Jasim, if we have python console script like you did in this video and already deployed in heroku, how can we make this app visible to another person so he/she can execute this app from his/her laptop?

[@BarziniNwa]

Hi Victor, how were you able to deploy? I'm still having issues with this as the code from this video has been deprecated. Can I see your github please? Thanks

[@CodeBand]

Hi there, for exposing it to public, you can make a simple Web App with frameworks like Flask/Django and invoke the code, for example on a button click.

[@CodeBand]

Can you elaborate which parts of the code are deprecated ?

[@BarziniNwa]

@@CodeBand options = Options() options.add_argument("start-maximized") options.add_argument("--headless") options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage") options.add_argument("--no-sandbox") self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)

[@BarziniNwa]

@@CodeBand I had to change the code and add the service parameter to make it work. Still when I deploy on heroku, my app doesn't work. Can I reach you on Telegram to help with this? Thanks for your response!

[@rangabharath4253]

awesome bro. Please create a video on creating schedules in heroku in certain time intervals.

[@CodeBand]

Will try to do that in future bro...

[@ataimebenson]

Can I close my Command prompt while it is running ? Since the app is meant to be running on the Heroku cloud and not on my machine

[@CodeBand]

Which terminal are you talking about...? You don't have to open any kind of terminal...

[@ameenkp3284]

Bro enik oru error varunnu noelementexception....but normal running work aakunnund

[@CodeBand]

What's the update?

[@ShovonMallick41]

is there any easy way to create requiremens.txt file? I am having several issues here. 1) WARNING: Could not generate requirement for distribution -illow 5.4.1 (c:\users\svn41\anaconda3\lib\site-packages): Parse error at "'-illow=='": Expected W:(abcd...) 2) inside the requirements.txt file I have so many lines 3) if I use this requirements.txt file, lot of requirements remains not satisfied while deploying on heroku

[@CodeBand]

The first warning seems to be raised from a typo... You might've meant Pillow, but there it is illow Requirements.txt would generally suffice in most of the cases... And if you're facing any issue, please also try pipenv, which at the end will have pipfile, which is also supported by Heroku...

[@leelee-s7w]

Hello Code Band, thank you for the video. I wonder if I can pop up the selenium browser on Heroku. I don't want to use "--headless" option.

[@CodeBand]

Thanks a lot😊 and as far as the browser GUI, it's not possible, you might end up using --headless option.

[@user-bk6ry9ln6u]

​@@CodeBand Hi bro, your video is quietly awesome !! I have a question that similar to that guy @이호용 , I've created some Django app + selenium, but the problem is selenium won't return value if use chromeoptions (--headless). I've tried to figure it out and the result is it will return value if not using --headless , and it will not return value if using --headless. Do I have a chance to deploy it without --headless on the Heroku server ??

[@Rana-yc6yt]

have you tried with user-profile ?

[@CodeBand]

I haven't actually.

[@MichielDeSnuyter]

Why did youtube remove part 7?

[@CodeBand]

As they said the video didn't follow their community guidelines, very sorry about that video. I didn't know where it violates the guidelines😢

[@MichielDeSnuyter]

@@CodeBand Haven't you received a notification from youtube? If it's copyright related, there's a high likelyhood that you can counter their claim and have the video restored.Cosidering you run an educational channel there's such a thing as fair use.

[@MichielDeSnuyter]

@@CodeBand If you like, I'd be able to help with writing an email to youtube.

[@CodeBand]

@@MichielDeSnuyter I have given an appeal, but they rejected. There's still the Malayalam(native language) video of the same part 7, you might not get what I say in that video, but definitely you can see how I implement the stuff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpuwnH6EaZxseK8 Thanks a lot for the support ya😊

Does this create a link, which other people can open to use my application?

[@Mr_Amazigh]

Thanks for this tutorial . I’m wondering if I can set up selenium test in Ruby Rail app . Thank

[@CodeBand]

Welcome... Ruby Selenium : help.crossbrowsertesting.com/selenium-testing/tutorials/getting-started-with-ruby-and-selenium/

[@Mr_Amazigh]

Thanks so much !! So this can be set up in the CI/CD Heroku , right ?

[@CodeBand]

@@Mr_Amazigh Although I haven't personally tried, CI/CD pipeline would work fine with this one😊

[@moladomola]

I want to know how to code headless selenium params [params = {'behavior': 'allow', 'downloadPath': r'/home/osh/Downloads/'} ], as I want to save data to DB(e.x. ClearDB in HEROKU) directly. Is it possible?

[@CodeBand]

Saving data to DB is possible...you might want to do a DB configuration in the script and that's it, you can interact with your DB. Here's a simple Python MySQL Tutorial : realpython.com/python-mysql/

[@mylaramvenkatesh9796]

I am getting error due to different version of chrome and chrome drive, how to solve??

[@CodeBand]

You might need to update chromedriver according to the chrome version.... OR You can use webdriver-manager package to automatically manage drivers pypi.org/project/webdriver-manager/

[@mylaramvenkatesh9796]

@@CodeBand thanks, I solved it

[@CodeBand]

now heroku has stopped free service can you please make video on some alternate cloud provider..

[@178lec]

great tutorial, but how can I run / send collected script to my web page?

[@CodeBand]

That's pretty much easy, you can send the collected script in the body of the request to your website, remember to handle that request accordingly in your website.

[@abhikkumarde1053]

Will this work with whatsapp automation also ?

[@CodeBand]

For WhatsApp authentication, there are some issues / problems we have to deal with before hosting....

[@naveen1000]

@@CodeBand Can you please tell how can we acheive that without scanning QR code in heroku server

[@guuhfx]

I'm having a error that selenium can't find an element, but I tested on my computer and works perfectly... Do you know how to solve this?

[@CodeBand]

That might be an issue with timings...As the server will be very fast in its execution, our code might look for an item before it gets loaded. You can deal this one with waits, either implicit or explicit. Please refer this docs : selenium-python.readthedocs.io/waits.html

[@ismailtosuntnyl]

​ @Code Band hey bro did you solve your problem because ı have same problem. I tried to add wait command codes work perfect on my computer also on heroku can print page html but cant find element

Hey Man, I have liked this problem : I want to open my default browser using selenium. In this way I will not need any verification for whatsapp, tiktok etc... Could you just make a video about it if it is interted for you. or If you have any recommendations to deal with this problem let men know pls :)
