Python Selenium ChromeDriver not available
So I cannot figure out why I am getting this exception. When I only run the chrome recorder I get:
Running ChromeDriver 2.15.322448 (52179c1b310fec1797c81ea9a20326839860b7d3) on port 9515
When I try to run it from a file, I get:
WebDriverException: Message: chrome not reachable (Driver information: chromedriver = 2.15.322448 (52179c1b310fec1797c81ea9a20326839860b7d3), platform = Linux 3.13.0-52-generic x86_64)
Code:
if self.proxy:
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--proxy-server=http://user:password@proxy.com:8080")
self.webdriver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/bin/google-chrome', chrome_options=chrome_options)
else:
self.webdriver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/bin/google-chrome')
I am running it without proxy. If I don't put in the path, it won't be able to find the chrome binary for some reason. I don’t know where to go.

The path that needs to be given in the first positional or executable_path
keyword argument is the path to the chromograph, not chrome :
self.webdriver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver', chrome_options=chrome_options)
If it chromedriver
is in $PATH
- you don't need to specify the path at all - it usually is.
