问题

老高最近遇到一个需求,linux\centos下,使用selenium技术抓取数据。本来很简单的问题,但是由于内存限制,安装X window不现实,所以一个BT的想法诞生了,是否可以在centos命令行界面运行一个虚拟的桌面,然后使用selenium控制Firefox浏览器完成一些操作,Firefox运行在虚拟的桌面中,一切操作都在命令行中完成。

Google之,发现了Xvfb,他可以新建一个虚拟的X窗口,再配合python的pyvirtualdisplay,简直就是神器!

安装

centos下:

# 安装Xvfb和pyvirtualdisplay
yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
pip install pyvirtualdisplay

安装firefox和selenium

yum install firefox
pip install selenium

代码

from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
from selenium import webdriver

display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start()

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
print browser.title
browser.quit()

display.stop()
