I am following a clip on using Selenium:
[Selenium](https://youtu.be/UORHL0gJH9A?list=PLJ39kWiJXSiyDb2i4H1LFqby2wNQgJ_IH)
I have:
- Installed the latest version of Python
- pip install selenium
- added WebDriver.jl (I use Atom).
- added PyCall.jl (again, via Atom)
- installed chromedriver
Now, the following creates an error:
```
using PyCall
using WebDriver
browser = init_chrome()
```
I get the error:
“ **UndefVarError: init\_chrome not defined** ”
What am I doing wrong? What have I missed?
UPDATE:
I tried re-installing Python using Conda (I manually installed the latest version of Python prior to that). I also used Conda to add selenium. But, I still get the same problem.

This video seems outdated (it refers to an older version of WebDriver.jl).
I don’t think `init_chrome` is a method/function of WebDriver.jl.
Consider the manual here
[https://nosferican.github.io/WebDriver.jl/dev/manual/](https://nosferican.github.io/WebDriver.jl/dev/manual/)
It seems you need to run selenium on docker (or similar) for this to work.
If you want a solution via PyCall (without WebDriver.jl), you may consider the following snippet:
I note that WebDriver.jl likely has limited functionality compared to, e.g., the python library for selenium
```julia
using Pkg
tmpd = mktempdir()
Pkg.activate(tmpd)
Pkg.add("PyCall")
#Pkg.add("WebDriver")
#using WebDriver
using PyCall
using Conda
Conda.add("selenium")
webdriver = pyimport("selenium.webdriver")
#webdriver.Edge(),webdriver.Chrome(),webdriver.Firefox() ,webdriver.Ie(),webdriver.Opera(),webdriver.PhantomJS(),webdriver.Safari(),webdriver.Android()
#you will need to download chromdriver for the next call to work
#also chromedriver.exe needs to be in PATH (windows environment variable) for this to work
#also the chrome version you have needs to match the chromedriver version
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
```
