Hi, i'm glad and really pleased that i watched this video, because i was trying to deploy my selenium bot on heroku for a quite long time and always had some problems and errors, but with your way of deploying my bot is running perfectly! Thank you! :)

Hey, this video would help many people who wanna deploy a python app with selenium. Many thanks for sharing it. It is an informative video.

Can I close my Command prompt while it is running ?
Since the app is meant to be running on the cloud and not on my machine

Thanks a lot! I thought that there is no way to host selenium web app, but now got confidence.

i deployed my selenium script on heroku but don't know why its acting weird like after opening browser its taking 10min to enter the website link i provided.I mean making every next action its taking too much time why is that happening?

Would It be possible to launch this script from a button hosted on a website via heroku, ideally with a input field of URL to be scraped and an output field of the page source? Just so others who aren't terminal savy could use easily?

Great Video dude. Just one question, how do i have to define a directory in horuko, when my selenium script is downloading files?

[ExpectChaos]

Does the vars config need to follow the absolute path and name of the app? I.e if my app in procfile must be executed with a different name then "app", i need to change the value of the var accordingly with its relative path. (/app/vendor/chrome/... need to be changed in

This is a lifesaver here, great tutorial.

[verdrehteseele]

Lets say I made a selenium bot. Now to keep it active all the time, do I have to keep my pc on all the time if I follow your video?

[Rafael-hkpg]

How come when printing the page source it works, but when locating specific elements it only works locally rather than on Heroku?

Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us!
Helped me so much.

Hello! You talking very cool, because i'm Belorusian and i can translate all text what you talk whithout translator! (if you don't understand what i say, sorry)

Hello. Thank you for the video. I wrote a simple bot that likes and follows people on Tumblr. It's working on my machine fine but when I deploy to Heroku it says it is using too much resource. So I can not run it on Heroku. Why could it be so? It's just a simple selenium bot. Is there any way to make it work?

Thanks for this video it will definitely help me a lot!
