Using chromedriver with selenium/python/ubuntu

python selenium selenium-webdriver selenium-chromedriver

Installed the chromium-chromedriver:

sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

Adding the path to the selenium line:

driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver")

Note that this opens Chromium and not Chrome. Hope it was helpful.

python selenium selenium-webdriver selenium-chromedriver

I have solved the issue in the following way:

Open a terminal and type whereis chromedriver. In my case, I had the following output:
chromedriver: /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
Copy that path and edit your Webdriver instance like:

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')

That should be enough!

python selenium selenium-webdriver selenium-chromedriver

The following should normally work:

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')

Note that in your question there was no preceding '/' in the path.

Additionally, make sure that the chromedriver executable located in /usr/local/bin/ has appropriate file permissions, i.e. that it can be executed:

> chmod 777 /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
