I was trying some scraping using selenium, but when I try to run this code I got this error:

The version I am currently working on.

Python -- 3.7.13

Selenium -- 4.4.3

webdrivermanager -- 0.10.0

from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

Error:

CodePudding user response：

This error message...

WebDriverException: Message: Service /root/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/linux64/104.0.5112/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: -6

...implies that the ChromeDriver was unable to initiate/spawn a new Browsing Context i.e. google-chrome

Details

There seems to some issue with download path of_ChromeDriver v104.0.5112.79_. As per the error message Selenium was searching for the ChromeDriver within:

/root/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/linux64/104.0.5112/chromedriver

Presumably, following Index of /104.0.5112.79/ the ideal location should have been:

/root/.wdm/drivers/chromedriver/linux64/104.0.5112.79/chromedriver

This issue have been raised as ChromeDriverManager tries to download the latest ChromeDriver from incorrect url. Feel free to add up your observations to help us debug and address the issue.
