Selenium fails to start Chromedriver in CentOS

Question

I try to start Chromedriver with Selenium

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(\"http://www.google.com/\")
print(driver.titl         


        

Answer 1

It is much evident from your mentioned configuration that you are using Selenium v3.7.0, Google Chrome 62.0 along with chromedriver v2.9 which is not compatible. Hence we are seeing the error WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally

The Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.33 clearly mentions Supports Chrome v60-62

Solution:

Download the latest chromedriver v2.33 from this link and execute your testcase.

Update :

Try the following code block :

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()

OR

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/opt/chromedriver')
driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()
