no code runs after defining webdriver in selenium-CodePudding

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()), options=options)

print("hello world")

running python 3.10 on linux ubuntu

I was trying to play aruond with selenium however any code that I write after defining the webdriver does not work. it seems that the interpreter gets stuck after defining the webdriver. it opens the webdriver but only shows "data:," and nothing else and won't respond to any code written after.

CodePudding user response：

I figured out the problem, I only had chromium installed on my computer and I assumed that the chromium drivers and the chrome drivers are the same thing(still can't find any refrence to the chromium drivers)

CodePudding user response：

Chromium support is limited on selenium in my experience.

Please look at the replies here which do mention chromium-driver and how to get it

 sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver

Should get you chromium driver and they have some example code there that doesn't look too outdated.
