I am trying to write a simple web bot in Python. I have installed selenium and chromedriver. My OS is Linux Mint and IDE PyCharm.

I have followed instructions here:

    https://bangladroid.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/how-to-install-chrome-driver-in-linux-mint-selenium-webdriver/

Here is my code:

    from selenium import webdriver

    driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/bin/chromedriver")
    driver.get("http:google.com")

And traceback:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/kajetan/PycharmProjects/FirstBot/bot.py", line 3, in <module>
        driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/bin/chromedriver")
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py",                 line 73, in __init__
        self.service.start()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 98, in start
        self.assert_process_still_running()
      File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 111, in assert_process_still_running
        % (self.path, return_code)
    selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /usr/bin/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127

Chromedriver version is correct.

I have no idea what is wrong here.

To avoid version based problems you can just use the latest version by downloading it at the start of your script. It then will be saved in cache for further use:

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')

  • Once again, should I install ChromeDriverManager in another new script? – kjtn99 Aug 09 '20 at 14:08
  • If you use another new script you need to add th line again. It then download the Driver you need and runs your programm – Jonas Aug 09 '20 at 14:46

In java normally set driver like below

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","chrome driver path");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.get("url");
