So, if we were shown the actual error messages (e.g. Still it took a while to troubleshoot and only after I tried to launch chromium it became obvious there was an issue at the root (not depended on bokeh, that I had fixed yesterday). Ok, that is pretty system-specific, I do not want bokeh guess that my RapberryPi memory is quite limited.
You can run these examples using either Selenium 3 or 4. The following content walks you through using Selenium to start a WebDriver session with Microsoft Edge. Gecko Driver is an executable file that you need to have in one of the system paths before running your tests. The launched browser instance remains open until you close the WebDriver session. As Selenium 3.0 will not have any native implementation of Firefox, we need to direct all the driver commands through Gecko Driver. In this case it was some RAM allocation that limited the opening of chromium. Gecko driver is the link between your tests in Selenium WebDriver and Mozilla Firefox browser.
