Python Selenium Threading

Question

I tried to run this code in python but got the following error:

TypeError: main.checkout() argument after * must be an iterable, not WebDriver

def checkout():
  browser.get("https://google.com")

for i in range(5):
browserThread = threading.Thread(target = checkout, args = (webdriver.Chrome()))
browserThread.start()

I think the error is saying that it's expecting a args to be a tuple. You should also add your argument in checkout and reference browser that way.

I think you'd set args like this:

... args=((webdriver.Chrome()),)

def checkout(browser, url):
    browser.get(url)

for i in range(5):
    browserThread = threading.Thread(target=checkout, args=(webdriver.Chrome(), 'https://www.google.com'))
    browserThread.start()

And ensure executable file 'Chrome driver' is available in any PATH.
