I have a working Selenium application on my *nix platform. I am trying to migrate it to windows but am having trouble with ‘webdriver’. Apparently the format for specifying the path to geckodriver.exe is different and I cannot get it right. This is what I have now:
options=Options()
options.set_headless()
browser=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin\geckodriver.exe',options=options)
This is the traceback I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The path to geckodriver.exe is correct so I have no clue what it is looking for.
