Set chrome browser binary through chromedriver in Python

You can set Chrome Browser Binary location through ChromeDriver using Python ing the following different ways:

Using Options

from selenium import webdriverfrom selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Optionsoptions = Options()options.binary_location = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path="C:/Utility/BrowserDrivers/chromedriver.exe", )driver.get('http://google.com/')

Using DesiredCapabilities

from selenium import webdriverfrom selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilitiescap = DesiredCapabilities.CHROMEcap = {'binary_location': "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"}driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=cap, executable_path="C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe")driver.get('http://google.com/')

Using Chrome as a Service

from selenium import webdriverimport selenium.webdriver.chrome.service as serviceservice = service.Service('C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe')service.start()capabilities = {'chrome.binary': "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"}driver = webdriver.Remote(service.service_url, capabilities)driver.get('http://www.google.com')

Thanks a lot I was struggling with this for 2.5 hours as I did not know how to set the Chrome Executable path in Python. Works now

options = Options()options.binary_location = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path="C:/Utility/BrowserDrivers/chromedriver.exe", )

Is there a way to point webdriver to the Chrome Browser binaries?

As others have already stated, use binary_location. However, the location of Chrome moves around depending on the the platform. Fedora and Ubuntu use different locations. So you may want to use something like:

def get_chrome():    if os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/chromium-browser'):        return '/usr/bin/chromium-browser'    elif os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/chromium'):        return '/usr/bin/chromium'    elif os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/chrome'):        return '/usr/bin/chrome'    elif os.path.isfile('/usr/bin/google-chrome'):        return '/usr/bin/google-chrome'    else:        return None

And then:

if version.parse(selenium.__version__) >= version.parse("3.0"):    opts = Options()    opts.binary_location = get_chrome()    opts.add_argument('--headless')    opts.add_argument('--no-sandbox')    opts.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=opts)    driver.maximize_window()else:    opts = Options()    opts.headless = True    opts.binary_location = get_chrome()    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=opts)    driver.maximize_window()agent = driver.execute_script('return navigator.userAgent')
