Python Selenium Chrome Webdriver [duplicate]

Solution 1:

You need to specify the path where your chromedriver is located.

1. Download chromedriver for your desired platform from here.

2. Place chromedriver on your system path, or where your code is.

3. If not using a system path, link your chromedriver.exe (For non-Windows users, it's just called chromedriver):

   browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe")
   

   (Set executable_path to the location where your chromedriver is located.)

   If you've placed chromedriver on your System Path, you can shortcut by just doing the following:

   browser = webdriver.Chrome()

4. If you're running on a Unix-based operating system, you may need to update the permissions of chromedriver after downloading it in order to make it executable:

   chmod +x chromedriver

5. That's all. If you're still experiencing issues, more info can be found on this other StackOverflow article: Can't use chrome driver for Selenium

Solution 2:

Here's a simpler solution: install python-chromedrive package, import it in your script, and it's done.

Step by step:
1. pip install chromedriver-binary
2. import the package

from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_binary  # Adds chromedriver binary to path

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
