selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Failed to create a Chrome process with ChromeDriver Chrome with Selenium Python

问题

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 do with it but i added it just in case

This is The Code

import requests
import os
import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
os.system("cls")
print("                                         ")
print("______________     _____________         ________________")
print("| |         | |    |  |       | |        |______________|")
print("| |________ //     |  |  __   | |               | |")
print("| |________ \\\\     |  | |__|  | |               | |")
print("| |          | |   |  |       | |               | |")
print("| |__________| |   |__|_______|_|               |_|")

print("\u001b[34m Welcome To Movie Downloader")
print("\u001b[31m Please Make Sure To Not Put Every First Letter In Every Word Capital And Also Make Sure To Put Hyphens Instead Of Spaces Between Words, Also Put The Date The Movie Was Made")
print("\u001b[32m For Example: spider-man-homecoming-2017")


def Bot():
    URL = input("\u001b[34m What Movie Do You Want To Download:\n")
    r = requests.get("https://bila.egy.best/movie/" + URL + "/?ref=search-p1")
    if r.status_code == 200:
        print("\u001b[32m The Url Is Valid | Movie Has Been Found")
    else:
        print("\u001b[31m The Url Is Invalid")
    print("\u001b[0m")
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\chromedriver.exe')
    driver.get("https://bila.egy.best/movie/" + URL + "/?ref=search-p1")
    driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id=watch_dl]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td[4]/a[1]").click()
Answer = input("Would You Like To Bot?")
if Answer == "Yes" or "yes" or "sure" or "Sure":
    Bot()

This Is The Error

回答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.options import Options

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/')

回答2:

you have to edit

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

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

you miss \

If you get the same error, try running as administrator

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