How to execute Chrome-webdriver in Azure Cloud Service?

Question

You are about to run the chrome-webdriver on an azure cloud service.

However, the following error occurs.

chrome_webdriver sample code

from selenium import webdriver 
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/.chromedriver.exe') 
url = "https://www.instagram.com/" 
driver.get(url)

If you look at the picture, I put the chrome-driver file in the same directory as .ipynb
The path was set to './chromedriver.exe', but an error occurred.

Other attempted methods

1. driver = webdriver.Chrome(r"\chromedriver.exe")
2. driver = webdriver.Chrome("\\chromedriver.exe")
3. driver = webdriver.Chrome("/chromedriver.exe")

-> I tried a different method, but an error occurred.

1. driver = webdriver.Chrome('./Users/admin/chromedriver.exe')
-> Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH.
2. driver = webdriver.Chrome('./chromedriver.exe')
-> OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: './chromedriver.exe'

OSError are you sure that driver is for your OS? I mean that you have right driver for right OS — Vova Bilyachat, May 24 '21 at 05:03
I tried the chromewebdriver with window, linux, but still got an error. — elk_basic, May 24 '21 at 05:21
So if you deploy linux do you still get OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: './chromedriver.exe'? — Vova Bilyachat, May 24 '21 at 05:47
When you deploy linux i think it should not be chromedriver.exe. I just unzipped file please change into ./chromedriver — Vova Bilyachat, May 24 '21 at 05:48
When you say error occur please update your question. Because error can help to solve this problem — Vova Bilyachat, May 24 '21 at 06:21
You did not updated code :( driver = webdriver.Chrome('/.chromedriver') — Vova Bilyachat, May 24 '21 at 06:40
Now i am afraid that you need to have chrome installed there :( — Vova Bilyachat, May 24 '21 at 06:45

For the link you gave me, I tried everything, but I couldn't resolve it. I'm sad — elk_basic, May 24 '21 at 07:05
I know i think problem is that there is no chrome browser installed :( — Vova Bilyachat, May 24 '21 at 07:06
I'm so sad that I haven't solved this problem for a long time. — elk_basic, May 24 '21 at 07:22

I think your error is that you set path "/chromedriver.exe" which is looking for file in root folder, change it to "./chromedriver.exe" where "./" means start from folder you execute script

Also you must be sure that you deployed right driver for right Operating System

And since its linux use

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