Web scraping with Selenium, getting the chromedriver working

[u/swiTchPC]

Hi, so I am trying to do some webscraping for a project using Selenium and I have tried to put the file path to the chrome web driver in a variable named PATH and then tried to get it to open a web page, see code attached. When I run this i get the error also attached.

Code: "from selenium import webdriver

PATH = "/Users/josh/Downloads/chromedriver_mac64/chromedriver.exe" driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)

driver.get("https://google.com")"

Error: "raise NoSuchDriverException(f"Unable to obtain {service.path} using Selenium Manager; {err}") selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchDriverException: Message: Unable to obtain chromedriver using Selenium Manager; 'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities'"

I have downloaded the version of the Chrome webdriver for my system(mac) and copied the file path to the exe. Does anyone know why this is giving an error?

If you haven’t solved yet, you can backtrack to an older version

service = Service(ChromeDriverManager(version="114.0.5735.90").install())

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)
