Python executable_path keyword no longer recognized when trying to launch chrome driver [duplicate]

I am using sublime to code python scripts. The following code is for selenium in python to install the driver automatically by using the webdriver_manager package
# pip install webdriver-manager
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.maximize_window()
#s=Service(path)
#driver=webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.get('https://www.google.com')
driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'q').send_keys('Yasser Khalil')
The code works fine but I got a warning like that
Demo.py:7: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
How to fix such a bug?

This error message...
DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
...implies that the key executable_path will be deprecated in the upcoming releases.
This change is inline with the Selenium 4.0 Beta 1 changelog which mentions:
Deprecate all but Options and Service arguments in driver instantiation. (#9125,#9128)
Solution
With selenium4 as the key executable_path is deprecated you have to use an instance of the Service() class along with ChromeDriverManager().install() command as discussed below.
Pre-requisites
Ensure that:
Selenium is upgraded to v4.0.0
pip3 install -U selenium
Webdriver Manager for Python is installed
pip3 install webdriver-manager

Selenium v4 compatible Code Block
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
Console Output:

Incase you want to pass the Options() object you can use:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
TL; DR

Pull Request: deprecate all but Options and Service arguments in driver instantiation

This works for me
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
ser = Service(r"C:\chromedriver.exe")
op = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
s = webdriver.Chrome(service=ser, options=op)
Extending on the accepted answer, the Service class allows to explicitly specify a ChromeDriver executable in the same way as previously using the executable_path parameter. In this way existing code is easily migrated (clearly you need to replace C:\chromedriver.exe above by your path).

I could figure it out
# pip install webdriver-manager
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
s=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get('https://www.google.com')
driver.find_element(By.NAME, 'q').send_keys('Yasser Khalil')

I found this deprecation issue is appearing on Selenium, Pip and Python updates. so simply just change :
before:
from selenium import webdriver
chrome_driver_path = 'C:/Users/Morteza/Documents/Dev/chromedriver.exe'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_driver_path)
url = "https://www.google.com"
driver.get(url)
after:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
s=Service('C:/Users/Morteza/Documents/Dev/chromedriver.exe')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
url='https://www.google.com'
browser.get(url)

All the above answers refer to Chrome, adding the one for Firefox
Install:
pip install webdriver-manager
Code:
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Firefox(service=Service(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install()))
Reference: https://github.com/SergeyPirogov/webdriver_manager/issues/262#issuecomment-955197860

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
service_obj = Service("WebDrivers_path\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service_obj)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

Simplest option with Chrome auto-installer:
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_autoinstaller
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service())

Have a look at the new definition in the Service object here.
My solution
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
chrome_executable = Service(executable_path='chromedriver.exe', log_path='NUL')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=chrome_executable)

if you are using any IDE like PyCharm install webdriver-manager package of that IDE as how do install for selenium package

You can create an instance of ChromeOptions, which has convenient methods for setting ChromeDriver-specific capabilities. You can then pass the ChromeOptions object into the ChromeDriver constructor:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addExtensions(new File("/path/to/extension.crx"));
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Since Selenium version 3.6.0, the ChromeOptions class in Java also implements the Capabilities interface, allowing you to specify other WebDriver capabilities not specific to ChromeDriver.
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
// Add the WebDriver proxy capability.
Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.setHttpProxy("myhttpproxy:3337");
options.setCapability("proxy", proxy);
// Add a ChromeDriver-specific capability.
options.addExtensions(new File("/path/to/extension.crx"));
ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);

Scraper automatically exits

I am creating a LinkedIn scraper using Selenium. My script executes properly but it gets close after 3-5 secs and it does not give any error in the console. It says Process finished with exit code 0
Here is my code:
import time,os
try:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
except:
os.system("python -m pip install --upgrade pip")
os.system("pip3 install selenium")
os.system("pip3 install webdriver-manager")
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(),options=options)
driver.get("https://www.linkedin.com/")

Selenium launch browser in specific path (for example ./firefox/firefox.exe) (Python3)

I would like to do what is in the title.
My code:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('https://www.google.com')

Have you tried webdriver-manager library?
It's amazing, you just need to install it:
pip install webdriver-manager
and launch your code like this:
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.firefox import GeckoDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=GeckoDriverManager().install())
that package downloads you needed geckodriver automatically. Don't forget path 'executable_path' while launching driver.
As well you can you chromedriver, like that:
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

Selenium searches the webdriver through the directories on sys.path, so you would first have to do something like that:
import sys
from selenium import webdriver
sys.path.insert(0,'/path/to/firefox')
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('https://www.google.com')

I have already installed webdriver_manager but python can't find the module

This is from my script:
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\\tques\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
I have tried both instances of the "driver" variable, both independently and together but I always get this error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'webdriver_manager'"
I've already tried uninstalling selenium and webdriver_manager, then reinstalling them, but the issue persists.

find the file path ware webdriver_manager is installed, then add
import sys
sys.path.append(<webdriver_manager path>)
before
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

Have you tried to add a driver to the PATH? - HOW TO DO THIS
And then do as simple as:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome()

try this:
from selenium import webdriver<br>
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

Python Launching Chromedriver from selenium works in IDLE but not Visual Studio Code

Below is my code and when I run it through powershell/cmd/IDLE it launches the chromedriver perfectly. However when I try to run it through visual studio code I receive the text below.
"selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home"

import os
print(os.getcwd())
driver = webdriver.Chrome(os.getcwd() +'\\chromedriver.exe')
I right click the code and click 'Run Python File in Terminal' However I've discovered that I can't even use the terminal to cd to the code deeper inside the file structure.
The file structure I have is "G:\Quality User Data\Malahy\Projects\AQE Interfaces>"
But the chrome driver and the python file are stored together in a deeper directory.
"G:\Quality User Data\Malahy\Projects\AQE Interfaces\AQE Interface\Logistics\Repack"
I'm starting to think this is a bug with Visual Studio Code more than my program.
