Proxy Bonanza

Go to settings, find the "Security" menu and click on "Unblock security settings". You will be prompted to agree to the changes, which you will need to confirm by clicking "Yes", which will unlock the "Allow unsupervised access" item. Now click on the text or checkbox to activate the function. On the computer from which you plan to connect remotely, you will need to enter the ID of the first computer and click on "Connect".

Open the "Settings" application via "Start" and go to "Network and Internet". Here, in the "Proxy" section, find the "Manual Proxy Configuration" column. Move the slider to "On" and carefully enter the IP address and port of the proxy, then click "Save".

However, there are alternative approaches and bindings that allow you to use Selenium with C++. Here are a couple of options:

1. CppDriver:

   • CppDriver is a C++ implementation of the WebDriver protocol that allows you to interact with web browsers. It is not an official Selenium project but provides a way to use Selenium-like functionality in C++.

   GitHub Repository: CppDriver

   Keep in mind that the project may not be as actively maintained or feature-rich as official Selenium bindings for other languages.

2. WebDriver C++ Client Library (Unofficial):

   • There are unofficial C++ bindings or client libraries developed by the community. These libraries may provide a way to interact with WebDriver or Selenium-like functionality in C++. However, their usage and features may vary.

   GitHub Repository Example: webdriver-cpp

   Note: Unofficial bindings might not be as comprehensive or up-to-date as official Selenium bindings.

3. Use Selenium with C++ via External Libraries:

   • Another approach is to use C++ along with external libraries that can control browsers. For example, you might use C++ to control a headless browser like Chromium or automate interactions using browser automation libraries.

   Keep in mind that this approach may not provide the same level of abstraction and cross-browser compatibility as Selenium WebDriver.

Before choosing any of these options, carefully review the documentation, community support, and compatibility with your specific requirements. Since these projects are not officially supported by the Selenium project, they may have limitations and may not be as stable or feature-rich as Selenium WebDriver in other languages.

If PyCharm Community Edition (PyCharm CE) has stopped recognizing the Selenium package, it could be due to various reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Check Virtual Environment:

   • If you are using a virtual environment, make sure it is activated in PyCharm. Virtual environments isolate project dependencies, and if the virtual environment is not activated, PyCharm may not recognize installed packages.

2. Reinstall Selenium:

   • Try reinstalling the Selenium package in your project. Open the terminal in PyCharm and run the following command:

pip uninstall selenium
pip install selenium

• PyCharm Cache:

  • Clear the PyCharm cache, as cached information might be causing the issue. You can find the "Invalidate Caches / Restart" option under the "File" menu in PyCharm.

• Project Interpreter:

  • Make sure that the correct Python interpreter is selected for your project. Go to "File" > "Settings" > "Project: YourProjectName" > "Python Interpreter" and ensure that the interpreter matches the one where Selenium is installed.

• Check for Typos and Case Sensitivity:

  • Ensure that your import statements and references to the Selenium package are correct. Python is case-sensitive, so selenium should be in lowercase.

from selenium import webdriver

6. Restart PyCharm:

   • Sometimes, restarting PyCharm can resolve issues related to package recognition.

7. Check for Python File Naming Conflicts:

   • Ensure that there are no conflicting file names in your project. Sometimes, naming a file with the same name as a module might lead to import issues.

8. Check for Project Integrity:

   • Open your project's root directory and check if there are any issues with the project structure or files.

9. Update PyCharm:

   • Ensure that you are using the latest version of PyCharm. If not, consider updating to the latest version.

10. External Factors:

    • Check if there are any external factors affecting the Python environment, such as antivirus software or security tools.

11. Check Project SDK:

    • Confirm that the project SDK is set correctly. Go to "File" > "Project Structure" > "Project" and ensure that the correct Python interpreter is selected.

12. Check for IDE-Specific Issues:

    • Check the PyCharm forums or support channels for any known issues related to Selenium recognition in the specific version of PyCharm you are using.

After trying these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of PyCharm CE not recognizing the Selenium package. If the problem persists, additional details about error messages or symptoms would be helpful for further assistance.
