The above is the error I am getting while trying to use geckodriver and selenium. Geckodriver is in the path /home/ubuntu/bin/python/DLX/, that path has been added to the PATH var and I can see it when using echo $PATH. Below is the code I'm trying to get running.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType
from selenium.webdriver import DesiredCapabilities
from sys import platform
# setting browser to be heaadless
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--headless")
#Telling it where to find the required file
currentDir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
geckoPath = os.path.realpath(os.path.join(currentDir,'geckodriver'))
print(geckoPath)
binary = FirefoxBinary(geckoPath)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=geckoPath,options=options)
I've looked at other posts, tried their fixes and I've still got the issue. Running it on RPI3b+ Ubuntu server if that helps.
Selenium Ver=3.141.0
geckodriver ver=v0.23.0
Edit:
PATH is as follows
/home/ubuntu/.cargo/bin:/home/ubuntu/.local/bin:/home/ubuntu/bin:/home/ubuntu/.cargo/bin:/home/ubuntu/.local/bin:/home/ubuntu/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/ubuntu/bin/python/DLX
It would be fine if you create once driver folder in you project and place geckodriver there and provide path as mentioned below.
Lets say folder name is drivers
firefox_driver = "/drivers/geckodriver"
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=firefox_driver,options=options)

Chromedriver executable path not found in Docker Container

Closed 1 year ago.
I have a following problem.
In my scrape.py I set WebDriver using a function nastav_driver():
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.webdriver import WebDriver
import utils
def nastav_driver() -> WebDriver:
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(utils.PATH_CHROMIUM, options=options)
return driver
where utils.PATH_CHROMIUM is /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver. When I run the script, everything is OK. But When I run a docker image using sudo docker run python:0.0.1 I got this error:

What is the problem here, please?
You should define and put the web driver exe file somewhere inside your selenium project so as when you run your project in a docker or on some other machine, for example on Windows PC, it will still work correctly.
For example my FireFox driver is located here:
./src/main/resources/geckodriver.exe
So the code line is
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "./src/main/resources/geckodriver.exe");
The same for Chrome and Edge drivers.
You can set the specific location of the driver exe files in your project accordingly to your project actual structure.
The syntax above is in Java, but with Python it will be quite similar.
I am trying to learn how to use selenium and python as well i am trying to follow this video :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjv1sY630Uc&ab_channel=TechWithTim
This is the code I have :
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "/Users/fuadhafiz/Documents\chromedriver.exec"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com")
But this is what keeps coming up on the terminal ( I am using VS Code and am on mac)

Anomalous backslash in string: '\c'. String constant might be missing an r prefix.
This is were the chrome driver is saved :
You were almost there. In macos systems the extension for the ChromeDriver binary isn't required. So effectively your code block will be:
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "/Users/fuadhafiz/Documents/chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com")
References
You can find a couple of detailed relevant discussions in:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'geckodriver': 'geckodriver' with GeckoDriver and Python in MAC OS
see error message you are using wrong file extension .exec instead of .exe
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/fuadhafiz/Documents\\chromedriver.exec'
try this instead
from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "/Users/fuadhafiz/Documents\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com")
I am also using mac so install chromedriver in default PATH saves so much trouble of adding path each time
brew cask install chromedriver
now you can simply call
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
I'm trying to use selenium and I keep getting the error:

I'm really confused as nothing online is helping me. The folder to the chromedriver IS in the PATH.
I've tried having the python file in the same folder as the driver and in a different folder.
I've tried specifying the location via executable_path. I've tried including and not including '.exe' in the executable_path. Nothing works. Can someone please help me get this working. Here's my code:
from selenium import webdriver
chromedriver = r"\C:\bin\chromedriver"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
You need to provide chrome driver binary path , please download latest chrome driver which support to your browser version :
you can download Latest Chrome driver from here
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:\bin\chromedriver.exe")
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get("url")
If it is in the PATH then no need for referencing in your code.
Simply write your code the following
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
Tried executing
from selenium import webdriver
browser=webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
but doesn't execute and throws error

Please Help!!
This isn't working because you haven't provide path of the chrome driver.WebDriver doesn't know where is the chromedriver path.
driver = webdriver.Chrome("path of the chrome driver Chromedriver.exe")
for example:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome("d:/chromedriver/Chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
You can try Firefox for this purpose:
First Download Geckodriver from here: https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/tag/v0.24.0
from selenium import webdriver
fox = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='/path/to/downloaded/gecko/driver')
fox.get("https://www.google.com")
Same could be done with google chrome :
You can download chrome driver from here:
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home
No need to setup PATH variable.
I have just fixed the issue. You need to download an updated version of Google Chrome. For instance, my old version was 96 but now it is 101. That is it.
I just copied selenium script from web and trying to learn selenium python automation.
Here is the script
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.facebook.com")
While running I got following error

What is the issue?
I copied geckodriver file to c drive and define the path too.
Just replace this line :
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
To:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path = r'C:/Users/user***/Downloads/geckodriver-v0.20.1-win64/geckodriver.exe')
