selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service ./chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127

Hi there,

I have been trying to use your code to get selenium setup for a scrape project I am working on but keep getting the above error.

I installed selenium using pip as you did and then my code is

from selenium import webdriver
import time

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='./chromedriver')
driver.get('http://www.google.com/')
time.sleep(5)

driver.close()

I have installed the version of chromedriver that matches my browser version
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=88.0.4324.96/

Each time it is just giving me the issue in the title. Any ideas? I read it could be to do with dependencies for the chromedriver but I cant be sure, or dont know how to check these.

Try to use absolute path like this:

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/home/jordi/chrome-selenium-python/chromedriver')
driver.get('http://www.google.com/');

What O.S. are you using?

In debian based linux you may need to run this:

apt-get install -y libglib2.0-0=2.50.3-2 \
    libnss3=2:3.26.2-1.1+deb9u1 \
    libgconf-2-4=3.2.6-4+b1 \
    libfontconfig1=2.11.0-6.7+b1
