Python Tool Error - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'

Hi, I have a workflow that uses the Python tool and it has ran perfectly in the past, but I'm now getting the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium'

I checked, and I still have Selenium installed and up to date, and I can also still run Selenium from Python command line, so I'm not sure why Alteryx can't find it.

I haven't made any changes to my workflow, but I did just update to Alteryx Designer 2020.1.5. Could this be causing the problem?

Thank you!

Gavin

You'll need to make sure the package is installed in the Virtual Environment that the Python Tool uses. this is rebuilt when you reinstall Alteryx.

If Admin Version of Designer:

C:/Program Files/Alteryx/bin/Miniconda3/envs/JupyterTool_vEnv

You can use Package.installPackages() in Designer to install the package

Can you run Designer as admin and try to re-install selenium?

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for helping me earlier. I'm now running into a similar problem after I updated Alteryx. I try to reinstall selenium in Alteryx but I get the following error:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files\\alteryx\\bin\\miniconda3\\envs\\jupytertool_venv\\Lib\\site-packages\\selenium'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

Here's the full output:

Do you know why access would be denied or how I can fix this?

Thank you!

I was running the python code on a licensed version of Alteryx and it was working fine but when I transferred my workflow to another system that had trial version then libraries installation started throwing error in python tool. What is the reason?
