I'm trying to use selenium to open a webpage with code below

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('bing.com')

i tried to use executable_path= but it said chromedriver needs to be in PATH so I added the driver to the path variables and I think that's not the problem

and also i'm using WSL2

here is the full error

Traceback (most recent call last):

    driver = webdriver.Chrome()

  • When you say your running wsl2, does that mean you have the right version of chromedriver? linux version vs`windows version depending on what you're running your test on? - Can you also confirm your versions? - run `pip show selenium` `python --vesrion` and (wherever the chromedriver sleeps) `chromedriver --version` – RichEdwards Aug 08 '20 at 17:42

Install selenium on the windows or mac operating system instead of linx or wsl. I ran into the same problem and using window resolved the issue, sorry for he lack of reasoning why.

best of luck
