ChromeDriverManager().install() FileNotFound Error

Question

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

chrome_driver = ChromeDriverManager().install()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_driver)

driver.get("https://www.amazon.com")

I'm installing chrome driver using ChromeDriverManager and I got 'FileNotFound' Error.

Here is my error terminal:

I tried to install chrome driver and I got 'FileNotFound' Error. Why does this happen?

use this - driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install()) — Dayananda D R, Jul 28 '23 at 06:36
I think the issue here relates to Chrome 115.xxx and availability (or otherwise) of a compatible driver — DarkKnight, Jul 28 '23 at 06:57

You may try this way:

from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))

driver.get("https://www.amazon.com")

If you are using latest version of selenium (at least v4.6.0 or above), you don't need a third party library like WebDriverManager to handle and manage browsers and browser drivers. Your code can be as simple as:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.amazon.com")
