I am getting error issues all of a sudden with selenium and the chromedriver. I haven't changed a single thing yet I am met with these error messages. The script literally worked hours ago and now without any tweaks its not working.

Here is my corresponding code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
caps = DesiredCapabilities().CHROME
#caps["pageLoadStrategy"] = "eager"
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(r'load-extension=C:\Users\Doe Labs\Desktop\Austin\sales_prospecting\facebookpixelhelper')
#options.add_argument('start-fullscreen')
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver=webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities = caps, executable_path=r'C:\Users\Doe Labs\Desktop\Austin\sales_prospecting\chromedriver', chrome_options=options)
driver.get('http://www.doelabs.com/')
driver.maximize_window()
Even more strange is that when open new terminal, load python, and type from selenium import webdriver, i dont get any errors. But, when I navigate to the folder where the script lives, and load python and type from selenium import webdriver, i get the error message that shows up above. I hope this can give some insight into my current predicament.
A few words about the solution :
email is a reserved word / keyword in Python Language, avoid using the word email within user defined filename/methods/classes.
pageLoadStrategy as eager is yet to be implemented in ChromeDriver, use either none or normal instead as per your requirement.
To maximize the Chrome Browser Window instead of maximize_window() use the argument start-maximized through ChromeOptions()
To load an extension use ChromeOptions as follows :
options.addExtensions(new File("/path/to/extension.crx"));
Here are the four methods to initialize Chrome Browser through ChromeDriver :
Vanila Method :
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('http://www.doelabs.com/')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()
Arguments as ChromeOptions :
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.addExtensions(new File("C:\Users\Doe Labs\Desktop\Austin\sales_prospecting\facebookpixelhelper.crx"));
options.add_argument('start-maximized')
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('http://www.doelabs.com/')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()
Capabilities as DesiredCapabilities :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
caps = DesiredCapabilities().CHROME.copy()
caps["pageLoadStrategy"] = "normal"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', desired_capabilities=caps)
driver.get('http://www.doelabs.com/')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()
Arguments as ChromeOptions and Capabilities as DesiredCapabilities :
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
caps = DesiredCapabilities().CHROME.copy()
caps["pageLoadStrategy"] = "normal"
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.addExtensions(new File("C:\Users\Doe Labs\Desktop\Austin\sales_prospecting\facebookpixelhelper.crx"));
options.add_argument('start-maximized')
options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', desired_capabilities=caps)
driver.get('http://www.doelabs.com/')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()
You might want to change
executable_path=r'C:\Users\Doe Labs\Desktop\Austin\sales_prospecting\chromedriver',
to
executable_path=r'C:\Users\Doe Labs\Desktop\Austin\sales_prospecting\chromedriver.exe',
You seem to have missed .exe, the extension of the executable file.

When I use TouchActions in python, the Error is
Message: unknown command: Cannot call non W3C standard command while in W3C mode
With this, ActionChains class works well. This is my python code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
#from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.touch_actions import TouchActions
mobile_emulation = { "deviceName": "Nexus 5" }
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_experimental_option('mobileEmulation', mobile_emulation)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("http://example.com/")
element = driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, 'body')
actions = TouchActions(driver)
actions.tap(element)
#actions.double_tap(element)
#actions.flick(10, 10)
actions.perform()
driver.quit()
selenium 4.1.0
ChromeDriver 97.0.4692.71
Google Chrome 97.0.4692.71
How can I fix it?
I'm trying to automate email printing with Selenium & Chrome Driver; for some reason, the snippet below works fine when I exclude the options=options argument (i.e. not in headless mode). When I switch headless on, even specifying window size it still is unable to find the element by ID.
Config
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from time import sleep
#-----------------DEFAULT CONFIG
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--window-size=1920,1080')
options.add_argument("--allow-insecure-localhost")
options.add_argument("--allow-insecure-content")
options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
PATH = '/Users/*********/2021/selenium/chromedriver'
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH,options=options)
Failing Block (last line)
google_login = 'https://accounts.google.com/Login#identifier'
driver.get(google_login)
sleep(2)
html = driver.page_source.strip()
# =============EMAIL BOX
user_name = driver.find_element_by_id('identifierId')
Error Traceback: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"css selector","selector":"[id="identifierId"]"}
I've tried using WebDriverWait in a try/except which also doesn't help.
Screenshot captured in headless mode attached (line prior to the failing step)
see headless mode is bit fast so I would suggest you to use it with Explicit waits :
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
user_name = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "identifierId")))
Imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

Instead of
options.add_argument("--window-size=1920,1080")
Please try this.
options.add_argument('--window-size=1920x1080')

I have all the correct programs installed:
running python 3.8
have chrome webdriver installed
running version 84 stable chrome web browser
When I run the program it opens chrome however I get a blank web page with nothing on there but some text which says "data:." that is all nothing else.
This is the error I get in VS code:

This error message...
DeprecationWarning: use options instead of chrome_options
...implies that in your program you have used chrome_options to initiate a Selenium driven ChromeDriver initiated google-chrome Browsing Context.
chrome_options is deprecated now and you have to use options instead as well as pass the absolute path of the ChromeDriver along with the extension.
Solution
As you are triggering your tests on a windows-10 system, effectively you line of code will be:
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe', options=options)
It's ok!
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
no, the error will remain if you cover it like this
browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
it will be right
browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
***Below code sample is from 2022 and uses Web Driver Manager (https://pypi.org/project/webdriver-manager/)
#Imports for Web Driver, Service, Web Driver Manager
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
#options reference to Chrome Options
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
#Pass options to the WebDriver with ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)
I want to get my Whatsapp web (web.whatsapp.com) logged in, at the second time opening the Whatsapp web on chrome driver. Following is my code based on Python need your help.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_path = r"chromedriver.exe"
options = Options();
options.add_argument("user-data-
dir=C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data");
#options.add_argument("--start-maximized");
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_path,chrome_options=options);
#driver = webdriver.Chrome();
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com/')
I tried on my Mac, below code and it worked perfectly fine, I don't need to login again
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=/tmp/tarun")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com/')
driver.quit()
For window you can try changing the path as below
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get('https://web.whatsapp.com/')
driver.quit()
Here it is for Windows. Works perfect on Python 3.6
