How to use Selenium on Colaboratory Google?

Question

I scraping many info from web, and I hope it works on cloud. So I'd like to use colaboratory, but it turned error

WebDriverException                        Traceback (most recent call last)

     21 options.add_argument("--headless");

    112             )

WebDriverException: Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: -6

I read the articles, and it says this works. How can we use Selenium Webdriver in colab.research.google.com? But actually not.

Any Ideas are appreciated.

My option is

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver', chrome_options=options)

↑ this last sentence makes error

WebDriverException: Message: Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: -6

============================================ My entire chart

!sudo apt install unzip
!wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.37/chromedriver_linux64.zip
!unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip -d /usr/bin/
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
!pip install selenium
!pip install openpyxl

then, python script is

cd = "drive/My Drive/doc/業務資料/イーコレ/scrap/*"
import os, subprocess
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver')
import selenium
import bs4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import openpyxl
import time, re, csv, urllib.parse
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver', chrome_options=options)

Answer 1

# install chromium, its driver, and selenium
!apt update
!apt install chromium-chromedriver
!pip install selenium
# set options to be headless, ..
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
# open it, go to a website, and get results
wd = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver',options=options)
wd.get("https://www.website.com")
print(wd.page_source)  # results

Answer 2

I think this code would work:

!sudo apt install unzip
!wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.37/chromedriver_linux64.zip
#!unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip -d /usr/bin/
from google.colab import drive
!pip install selenium
!pip install openpyxl
!apt-get update
!apt-get install -y unzip xvfb libxi6 libgconf-2-4
!apt-get install default-jdk 
cd = "drive/My Drive/doc/業務資料/イーコレ/scrap/*"
import os, subprocess
import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver')
import selenium
import bs4
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import openpyxl
import time, re, csv, urllib.parse
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver', chrome_options=options)
