I can't send WhatsApp message using Selenium :/ with these error

Question

Error while running my Selenium automation

I cannot completely run my project as it is shown error soon after rendering the web.whatsapp.com

This is my code

from selenium import webdriver 
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait 
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC 
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys 
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By 
import time 

driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe') 

driver.get("https://web.whatsapp.com/") 
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 600) 

target = '"D@D"'

string = "Message sent using Python!!!"

x_arg = '//span[contains(@title,' + target + ')]'
group_title = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located(( 
    By.XPATH, x_arg))) 
group_title.click() 
inp_xpath = '//div[@class="input"][@dir="auto"][@data-tab="1"]'
input_box = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located(( 
    By.XPATH, inp_xpath))) 
for i in range(100): 
    input_box.send_keys(string + Keys.ENTER) 
    time.sleep(1) 

Following are the errors :/

I see that you are doing the below:

driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')

Use the below if you dont want to specify the location because you might not now where it is at:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

Is your chrome in your D, F, etc... drive?

Example:

driver = webdriver.Chrome("F:\\chromedriver.exe")
