python - Selenium/PhantomJS raises error

Question

I'm trying to run PhantomJS driver in Python but I'm getting error. I've read that I should pass the whole path as an argument but it didn't help.

Here is the code:

from selenium import webdriver

# driver = webdriver.Chrome('D:Python_projectschromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe') # this works
driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='D:Pythonphantomjs-2.0.0-windowsinphantomjs.exe')

ERROR:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "path to script", line 8, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='D:Pythonphantomjs-2.0.0-windowsinphantomjs.exe')
  File "C:Python27libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverphantomjswebdriver.py", line 50, in __init__
    self.service.start()
  File "C:Python27libsite-packagesseleniumwebdriverphantomjsservice.py", line 75, in start
    raise WebDriverException("Unable to start phantomjs with ghostdriver.", e)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Unable to start phantomjs with ghostdriver.
Screenshot: available via screen

Do you know what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Make the path in raw string, add 'r': 

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path=r'D:Pythonphantomjs-2.0.0-windowsinphantomjs.exe')
