I have installed python, python-pip and selenium package from pycharm (I am using Manjaro Linux OS) for automation but I am unable to load chrome webdriver gives error which is attached herewith. I downloaded same version chromedriver file as is of my current chrome browser and pasted into project folder also the same file is present in /usr/local/bin/chromedriver. Don't have any idea why it is still giving me error. Help will be appreciated. Thanks.
I tried to run these lines of code:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver')
browser.get('www.google.com')
and I get these errors:
/home/abubakar/PycharmProjects/pythonProject_01/main.py:2: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver')
