前几天有同学问到selenium是怎么样启动浏览器的(selenium启动浏览器的原理)，当时稍微讲解了一下，不过自我感觉不够具体，现在特地把启动原理通过代码和一系列操作给串联起来，希望可以帮助大家更好的理解。
以chrome浏览器为例，selenium启动chrome浏览器的代码如下：
def __init__(self, executable_path="chromedriver", port=0, options=None, service_args=None, desired_capabilities=None, service_log_path=None, chrome_options=None): """ Creates a new instance of the chrome driver. Starts the service and then creates new instance of chrome driver. :Args: - executable_path - path to the executable. If the default is used it assumes the executable is in the $PATH - port - port you would like the service to run, if left as 0, a free port will be found. - desired_capabilities: Dictionary object with non-browser specific capabilities only, such as "proxy" or "loggingPref". - options: this takes an instance of ChromeOptions """ if chrome_options: warnings.warn('use options instead of chrome_options', DeprecationWarning) options = chrome_options if options is None: # desired_capabilities stays as passed in if desired_capabilities is None: desired_capabilities = self.create_options().to_capabilities() else: if desired_capabilities is None: desired_capabilities = options.to_capabilities() else: desired_capabilities.update(options.to_capabilities()) self.service = Service( executable_path, port=port, service_args=service_args, log_path=service_log_path) self.service.start() try: RemoteWebDriver.__init__( self, command_executor=ChromeRemoteConnection( remote_server_addr=self.service.service_url), desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities) except Exception: self.quit() raise self._is_remote = False
