ускаю очень сложные тесты Python-Selen на непубличных веб-страницах. В большинстве случаев эти тесты работают нормально, но иногда один из этих тестов не выполняется во время инициализации самого веб-драйвера.

Подсказка: эта ошибка возникает при попытке инициализировать веб-драйвер, т.е. при выполнении чего-то подобного:

# Start of the tests
mydriver =  webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, log_path=logfile)
# ERROR HAPPENS HERE

# Doing other stuff here
....
# Doing tests here
....
# Doing shutdown here
mydriver.quit()

Вот полный пример такой ошибки:

Эти тесты выполняются как часть плана Дженкинса внутри док-контейнера, чтобы постоянно обеспечивать одинаковую среду. Вот список используемых пакетов и их версий:

Python 2.7.12pytest 3.6.1селен 3.8.0geckodriver 0.19.1Firefox 62.0облупленный 3.4.0

Ошибка появляется примерно в 1% всех тестов. Существует около 15 различных тестов, и ошибка кажется случайной (т.е. не всегда один и тот же тест).

Это ошибка в Firefox / Selen / Geckodriver? И есть ли способ это исправить?

Следующий фрагмент кодаэто не какой-то код, который я использую! Это просто идея, как исправить мою проблему, описанную выше. Может быть, это хороший способ решить мою первоначальную проблему или нет?

while counter<5:
    try:
        webdriver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile, log_path=logfile) 
        break
    except WebDriverException:
        counter +=1

Есть лучший способ сделать это?
