[SOLVED] Selenium python program freezes at get() function

Selenium python program freezes at get() function

A simple python program freezes on the get() function of the selenium driver and does not return.

Please find below the written code:

        self.browser = webdriver.Ie("IEDriver\\IEDriverServer.exe")
        self.browser.get(<url_in_quotes>)
        print('here') ##does not print
        self.browser.find_element_by_id('txtUname').send_keys(self.username)
        self.browser.find_element_by_id('txtPword').send_keys(self.password)
        self.browser.find_element_by_id('Submit').click()

I am using python 3.11 and IEDriver.

I have tried using implicit and explicit wait but the execution of the program freezes at the get() function. Please suggest a way out.

Solution

As suggested by Pcalkins, I made the necessary configuration changes in IE settings and the python code worked. Please refer to the link below for recommended settings: https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/ie_driver_server/
