Selenium.common.exceptions.webdriverexception: Message: Unknown Error: Failed To Create Chrome Process With Chromedriver Chrome With Selenium Python

I am trying to click a button using selenium so I made it find the element with the xpath since i couldn't find the id . EDIT: I didn't think the rest of the code had anything to d

Solution 1:

You need to take care of a couple of things:

• While passing the absolute location of chromedriver binary use a single forward slash along with the raw i.e. r switch. So the effective line of code will be:

  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\chromedriver.exe')
  

• Execute your @Test as non-administrator / non-root user.

---

Update

Another possible reason is Chrome is not installed in the default location as per the specification:

Solution

There can be two approaches to solve this situation:

• Uninstall Chrome and reinstall Chrome at default location.

• Use binary_location property to point to the chrome binary location.

  from selenium import webdriver
  from selenium.webdriver.chrome.optionsimportOptions
  
  options = Options()
  options.binary_location = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path="C:/Utility/BrowserDrivers/chromedriver.exe", )
  driver.get('http://google.com/')
  

Solution 2:

If you are still getting this error then try to reinstall your chrome

It worked for me, I got the same issue, I tried all of the ways but still cannot fix it but after I reinstall my chrome browser It Worked!

Solution 3:

you have to edit

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe")

to

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\chromedriver.exe")

you miss \

If you get the same error, try running as administrator

or

move chromedriver.exe to other path like c:/seleniumdriver/chromedriver.exe"and edit executable_path
