Django test using Selenium package error

Question

I want to create some Django test using Selenium package.

Here below is the simple test :

import unittest
from selenium import webdriver

class TestSignup(unittest.TestCase):

def setUp(self):
    self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()

def test_signup_fire(self):
    self.driver.get("http://localhost:8000/add/")
    self.driver.find_element_by_id('id_title').send_keys("test title")
    self.driver.find_element_by_id('id_body').send_keys("test body")
    self.driver.find_element_by_id('submit').click()
    self.assertIn("http://localhost:8000/", self.driver.current_url)

def tearDown(self):
    self.driver.quit

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

but I take this error :

TypeError: environment can only contain strings

in this line :

self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()

and I don't know why, any idea how to fix this error?

As you are seeing the error as :

TypeError: environment can only contain strings

In the line :

self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()

This essentially means there is some configuration error while updating the path within Environment Variables. To suppress that you can supply the argument with geckodriver binary location as follows :

self.driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\geckodriver.exe')
