Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

binary_path

✓ from chromedriver_py import binary_path

✗ from chromedriver_py import chromedriver_path

Basic Selenium script using chromedriver-py to automatically locate the ChromeDriver binary.

from selenium import webdriver from chromedriver_py import chromedriver_path driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver_path) driver.get('https://www.google.com') print(driver.title) driver.quit()

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn Selenium 4.x, the 'executable_path' parameter is deprecated; use 'Service' instead.

fix

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from chromedriver_py import chromedriver_path
service = Service(executable_path=chromedriver_path)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)

affects: chromedriver-py >= 100; Selenium >= 4.0.0

gotchaThe chromedriver binary path may change between package versions; always re-install to get the latest binary.

fix

pip install --upgrade chromedriver-py

affects: all

gotchaEnsure Chrome browser is installed and matches the ChromeDriver major version; mismatches cause session errors.

fix

Check Chrome version via chrome://settings/help, then install matching chromedriver-py version (e.g., 114.x for Chrome 114).

affects: all
