Issue:
I am attempting to create a script to log in to a website using the following code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
option = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver.exe', options=option)
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
However, when I run the script, I receive the following error: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'executable_path'
Answer:
The error message suggests that the webdriver.Chrome class does not recognize the executable_path argument.
To fix this issue, you need to modify the code as follows:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--headless') # Optional: Run in headless mode (without GUI)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
Make sure you have the correct path to the chromedriver.exe file, and update it accordingly if needed.
