seleniumbase/SeleniumBase v1.35.1

Allow URLS that start with "://" for open(URL)

on GitHub

This fixes #494
Allow URLS that start with :// for the open(URL) method

If you copy/paste a URL such as ://google.com into a web browser, the browser automatically converts the URL to https://google.com. But if you use the webdriver get(URL) method for URLs that start with ://, you'll get the following error:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException:
Message: unhandled inspector error:
{"code":-32000,"message":"Cannot navigate to invalid URL"}

Now the SeleniumBase open(URL) method (which wraps driver.get) automatically adds the https to URLs that start with :// to prevent the error.
As a bonus, you can now make your Python code lines 5 characters shorter if they use the open(URL) method for https URLs.
