Good Day:

I'm wanting to run Selenium via the Brave Browser on my Pi4. I'm porting working code from Windos 10. apt-get installs version 109 for the chrome driver BUT Python/Brave is wanting version 111. How do I get Brave/Chromedriver in sync?

I did download the Linix64 bit Chromedriver version, unzip, and copied Chromedriver over top of the existing but it yields a Format error.

Searching for Rasbberry Pi Chromedriver 111 yields no results.

Brave Version 1.49.120 Chromium: 111.0.5563.64 (Official Build) (64 Bit) Chromium-chromedriver: 109.0.5414.112-rpt2

Chromium team per se Google doesn't build and publish AMR32 (armv7l) builds of ChromeDriver anymore. The latest version of chromedriver-linux32 was released for version 2.33

Solution

Raspbian project have compiled chromium-chromedriver version for the armhf platform and added it to the repo. To download and install the latest available version of the ChromeDriver and use together with Selenium you need to supply the following command:

sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

  • Thanks for the answer. The command above is exactly what was used to install Chromedriver and the version installed is 109 not 111. AND when I run the python script, the error message says to get a compatible version. Hence my question about locating version 111 (OR perhaps downgrading BRAVE to 109). – Daniel Hempy Mar 17 '23 at 15:27
  • Here is the message I'm getting: "This version of ChromeDreiver only supports Chrome version 109 Current browser version is 111.0.5563.64 with binary path /usr/bin/brave-browser – Daniel Hempy Mar 17 '23 at 19:58
  • @DanielHempy So the latest compiled ChromeDreiver version being **109** you have to downgrade Chrome. – undetected Selenium Mar 17 '23 at 20:08
  • That's exactly my question except I'm looking for a downgrade for Brave. – Daniel Hempy Mar 17 '23 at 22:12

Here is the solution I've found:

Listed all available versions:

sudo apt list -a brave-browser

To install the earliest version from the list:

sudo apt-get install brave-browser=1.47.171

Where 1.47.171 is the earliest version in the repository as seen in the results of the first command.
