from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
import os

base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

filename = DriverUpdater.install(path=base_dir, driver_name=DriverUpdater.chromedriver, upgrade=True, check_driver_is_up_to_date=True)

from selenium_driver_updater import DriverUpdater
from selenium import webdriver
import os

base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
list_drivers = [DriverUpdater.chromedriver, DriverUpdater.geckodriver]

filenames = DriverUpdater.install(path=base_dir, driver_name=list_drivers, upgrade=True, check_driver_is_up_to_date=True)
print(filenames)

driver_chrome = webdriver.Chrome(filename[0])
driver_chrome.get('https://google.com')

driver_firefox = webdriver.Firefox(filename[1])
driver_firefox.get('https://google.com')
