With chromedriver version above 115, this has stopped working:
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
with the error
There is no such driver by url https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_115.0.5790.
As suggested here selenium webdriver chrome 115 stopped working, this works:
service = Service(ChromeDriverManager(version="114.0.5735.90").install())
But that doesn't seem like a good ongoing solution. Is there a better way?
The only thing that worked is updating the webdriver-manager to 4.0.0
With this package update the old syntax
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(), options=chrome_options)
started to work again :)
The Service argument is available only from Selenium 4.10
You can use WebDriver-Manager to automaticly update the driver's version.
Install webdriver-manager:
pip install webdriver-manager
For Chrome:
# selenium 3
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
# selenium 4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
You may try this way:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
and you'll need to install
pip install selenium
pip install webdriver-manager
references:
pip install -U selenium webdriver-manager
The driver options changed, even though the major version remained, (thus the api is incompatible, bad selenium)
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
# do options stuff
driver_path = ChromeDriverManager().install()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options) # not chrome_options, no path argument
driver.service.path = driver_path
You can use webdriver-auto-update package to automatically download/update the driver's version.
Install webdriver-auto-update:
pip install webdriver-auto-update
For Chrome:
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_auto_update import check_driver
check_driver("C:\\Users\\User\\PycharmProjects") # dir path to store chromedriver in
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('your_website.com')
Plz note - the dir must already be existed, it doesn't creates it for you.
I personally preffered to use os.getcwd() + "\\drivers" path os.getcwd() to get the current dir, and the drivers folder, which I've added to the .gitignore file.
I have updated chromedriver to version 115.0.5790.110 on my mac, and it solved the binary not found issue.
I originally came here a few months ago with the same error, and one of the solutions provided in this thread worked. However, it stopped working and it took me some time to find an answer. Check this post for another way to solve any error regarding chromedriver version. I tried it and it solved the issue right away!
