I'm trying to run a scraper using Selenium driver
My py file is (just start)
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
# Set the url we want
<and so on>
However I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Searching for this error, it seems as if its incompatibility in ChromeDriver and Google-Chrome and Selenium however my Selenium version is 3.141.0, my chrome version is 72.0.3626.119 and my ChromeDriver is 2.46.
So they are all latest and they all seem compatible.
Any ideas what wrong?
I've ran into this error on Ubuntu 18.04 and it could be one of several things that's causing Chrome to crash. Try setting these flags:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--headless")
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/local/bin/chromedriver", chrome_options=options)
The --headless flag ensures that Chrome starts in headless mode as I assume you don't have a desktop running on your Ubuntu. the --no-sandbox flag turns off the sandboxing in Linux that sometimes causes problems at the start.

I have a following problem. I would like to run chromium on my Ubuntu using chromedriver_autoinstaller. My code is:
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_autoinstaller
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install() # Check if the current version of chromedriver exists
# and if it doesn't exist, download it automatically,
# then add chromedriver to path
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options)
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
But desired url http://www.python.org does not open, I just see data:, in the browser:
I tried to add some options, but it did not help:
from selenium import webdriver
import chromedriver_autoinstaller
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install() # Check if the current version of chromedriver exists
# and if it doesn't exist, download it automatically,
# then add chromedriver to path
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=9222')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = options)
driver.get("http://www.python.org")

Do you know, what is the problem here?
I found this questions, but it did not help me:
WebDriverException: unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist while trying to initiate Chrome Browser
unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist error while executing Selenium UI test cases on ubuntu
Tests fail immediately with unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist when running Selenium grid through systemd
The problem was that Docker requires chrome_options.add_argument("--headless") when running chrome in selenium

I'm unable to get chromium to run when i put my code in theoretically it looks like it should work i even followed tutorials but i keep getting the same error message. This is the code that i put:
from selenium import webdriver
#chromedriver varible with exact location to where its saved
chromedriver = "/home/jackmiller/Downloads/chromedriver"
#varible of drive to run open up the chrome driver which is located
#on my machine as chromedriver varible chromedriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)
#open this website
driver.get('https://youtube.com')
and when i run the code in terminal this is what it returns:
Traceback (most recent call last):

It's not opening chromium at all
Have you tried: options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=9222")
From this bug report: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/6049
A workaround is to specify the remote debugging port as an argument for your ChromeOptions, something like: options.add_argument("--remote-debugging-port=9222"), and if you're running in a container make the driver headless like so options.headless = True, otherwise use something like pyvirtualdisplay for screenshots.
Are you tried make chromedriverfile executable?
sudo chmod a+x chromedriver

Details, I'm doing this on a text mode server only (debian 8)
My code:
BASE_WEB_DRIVER = "/scripts/chromium-browser/chromedriver"
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
chrome_options.add_argument('--incognito')
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(BASE_WEB_DRIVER, options=chrome_options)
My version Chrome: Google Chrome 78.0.3904.108
My version driver: ChromeDriver 78.0.3904.105 (60e2d8774a8151efa6a00b1f358371b1e0e07ee2-refs/branch-heads/3904#{#877})
so today I went to run a program I made in python 3, but it kept crashing when it tried to open chromium. I haven't updated python or the chromedriver.exe so it was strange why it didn't work.
Current version of chrome driver I have installed: 74.0.3729.6
I have tried the following things but it didn't work:
Updating to the latest version of the chrome driver (v77.0.3865.10)
Downgrading to v73 of the chrome driver
Nothing has worked. Could someone please assist me.
I made this test program with just it launching the chrome browser:
main.py
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.create_options()
driver.maximize_window()
crash message:

The version of both Chrome (or Chromium) and Chromedriver must coincide.
As you can see in the error, your current Chromedriver only works with Chromium version 74.
Check the version of you Chromium and install the corresponding version of Chromedriver. To do this you can run the following command in a terminal.
apt-cache policy chromium
Having a bit of a rough time trying to get a webdriver spawning under Linux.
I'm on CentOS 7.3 I've installed Chrome, Chromium and a host of other python libs. I'm running:
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
thechromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/skyscraper/chromedriver', chrome_options=chrome_options)
The alternative with a different path runs fine under Windows so the problem is definitely in my port to Linux.
I've ran:
chmod a+x chromedriver
And it runs under root so it should have access to the chromedriver.
If I spawn it through a threadpool with a timeout it hits that timeout every time. Running it normally it eventually throws an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Skyscrapercomp.py", line 492, in <module>

My takeaway here was "Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally" which doesn't give me a lot to go on.
I've used pip to install the latest Selenium and Yum to install Chromium and Chrome. Feeling a bit dead in the water not sure what my next step is so I'd really appreciate a prod in the right direction.
/Updates:
I checked in /usr/bin google-chrome is there which is the default location it wants.
Also tried putting the chromedriver into /usr/bin and not giving it a location:
TheBrowser = webdriver.Chrome()
TheBrowser.get("http://www.google.com")
print TheBrowser.page_source.encode('utf-8')
But this gives the same error.
Try to use logging to find the problem:
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
service_log_path = 'chromedriver.log'
service_args = ['--verbose']
thechromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/skyscraper/chromedriver', chrome_options=chrome_options, service_args=service_args, service_log_path=service_log_path)
In my case there was an error with display (no X11 on my Ubuntu server). This helped me:
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display
display = Display(visible=0, size=(800, 600))
display.start() # don't forget to .stop() it at the end of program
