Automatically open up google's Messages for web from the terminal to send/receive texts from your computer using Selenium and Firefox.

The only requirements for this project are Selenium. [Official site] [Github] [Python Package]

Note: You must change line 11 in the "messages.py" file to the location of your geckodriver executable. It is most likely (definitely?) located/symlinked to "/usr/local/bin/geckodriver".

After running "python messages.py" from the directory this is saved in, the next steps to connect are:

1. Selecting "messages for web" in the 3-dot dropdown menu at the top right of the Google Messages app
2. Select "QR code scanner"
3. Scan QR code shown in the browser window opened by the selenium webdriver.

Note: After running this program for some time I realized it wasn't practical to use selenium in this scenario. It seems to take up unnecessary resources, and the same thing can be done using other means. For example running a script with the 3rd party python package PyAutoGui.
