I have been trying to run a very basic script in Python 3.6 which uses Selenium & chromedriver-2.42.

Here is the script:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import os

ch = os.getcwd() + '\\chromedriver'
options = Options()
options.set_headless(headless=True)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=ch)
driver.get("http://google.com/")
driver.get_screenshot_as_file('capture.png')
driver.quit()

While running it, I get the following error:

I am using Windows 7 x64.

It'll be a great help if anyone could guide me to solve this error. Thank you!

Try to give complete path of chromedriver.exe in place of chromedriver – thebadguy Sep 19 '18 at 01:04
Are you sure it's actually erring? Those could just be extra scruff from chromedriver. – Lucas Tierney Sep 19 '18 at 01:24
@thebadguy no results – Contrevien Sep 19 '18 at 10:09
@LucasTierney It is more like an infinite loop, becuase I have placed a "quit()" function there so the command window should be closed after a while, but that is not happening, the command window stays up and shows this. – Contrevien Sep 19 '18 at 10:11
One thing I have noticed, the last line starting with "DevTools.." also appears when I run the script without "--headless" option. – Contrevien Sep 19 '18 at 10:12
can you try https://stackoverflow.com/a/46967289/2425654 and pass only options – thebadguy Sep 19 '18 at 10:57
@thebadguy Thank You, but adding the "--no-sandbox" option worked! – Contrevien Sep 19 '18 at 11:14
