Chrome not started with Python Selenium webdriver

I got this error when running my code. BTW, I am running this behind a VPN.
Can anyone tell me how can I fix it?
BTW, I try --headless, but weird that only the default profile is started with headless.
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error:
Chrome failed to start: exited normally. (unknown error:
DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) (The process started from
chrome location C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has
crashed.)

cannot click element in python via selenium as a variable

I want to save element data to an excel file via python. I have the code below, I need some help why the line where
element.click()
gives an error. Even though I put the click() method upper line, but i need it to be in line below.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Chrome(r"C:\Users\Admin\Downloads\chromedriver_win32 (1)\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.nba.com/schedule?pd=false&region=1")
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
element_to_click=driver.find_element(By.ID,"onetrust-accept-btn-handler").click()
element_to_click.click() 'error
element_to_save=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,"//div/div/div/div/h4")
#element_to_save.to_excel("3row,3column)")
driver.quit()

This is one way to reject/accept cookies on that website:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument('disable-notifications')
chrome_options.add_argument("window-size=1280,720")
webdriver_service = Service("chromedriver/chromedriver") ## path to where you saved chromedriver binary
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=chrome_options)
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
url = 'https://www.nba.com/schedule?pd=false&region=1'
browser.get(url)
try:
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, "onetrust-accept-btn-handler"))).click()
print('accepted cookies')
except Exception as e:
print('no cookie button!')
Setup is selenium/chrome on linux - just observe the imports and the part after defining the browser/driver.
Selenium documentation can be found at https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/

Python selenium is neither not looking for id nor selecting button or giving input

So when I am execute my code the website will be open but the other steps which I described in my code below are not be execute, why? I even tried time.sleep() after the website is loaded in order to execute the remaining code but it is not working.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/Users/User/Desktop/it_projects/python-google-automation/Neuer Ordner/chromedriver')
#open certain website
driver.get('https://www.nike.com/de/?cp=58194921917_search_%7cnike%7c10594878138%7c107792850434%7ce%7cc%7cDE%7cpure%7c452291007809&ds_rl=1252249&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIod-_o8jD-QIVE4XVCh1-FggsEAAYASAAEgJSYfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds')
#go through cookie process
evade_cookie = driver.find_element_by_id('hf_cookie_text_moreInformation') #search for cookie-button (more informations)
evade_cookie.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) #click on button
select_cookie = driver.find_element_by_id('hf_cookie_label_done') #search for done-button
select_cookie.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) #click on done-button
#search for Sneakers
search = driver.find_element_by_id('VisualSearchInput') #search for input-area
search.send_keys('Nike Dunk Low') #insert input
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) #enter or return respectively
Error

It seems that the syntax you are using is incorrect.
Try the below code
#go through cookie process
evade_cookie = driver.find_element('id','hf_cookie_text_moreInformation') #search for cookie-button (more informations)
evade_cookie.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) #click on button
select_cookie = driver.find_element('id','hf_cookie_label_done') #search for done-button
select_cookie.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) #click on done-button

The following code will properly wait for the elements to be clickable, and execute correctly. The setup is Firefox/geckodriver on Linux, but you can adapt it to your own, just observe the imports, and the part after defining the browser/driver:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.service import Service

from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options as Firefox_Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time as t
firefox_options = Firefox_Options()
driverService = Service('chromedriver/geckodriver')
browser = webdriver.Firefox(service=driverService, options=firefox_options)
url = 'https://www.nike.com/de/?cp=58194921917_search_%7cnike%7c10594878138%7c107792850434%7ce%7cc%7cDE%7cpure%7c452291007809&ds_rl=1252249&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIod-_o8jD-QIVE4XVCh1-FggsEAAYASAAEgJSYfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds'

WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,'//span[text()="Fertig"]'))).click()
search_box = WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID,'VisualSearchInput')))
search_box.send_keys('Nike Dunk Low')
t.sleep(1)
search_box.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

As per the error stacktrace there are two errors:
DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object: Implies that the default argument executable_path is deprecated now and you have to use an instance of the Service() class. See: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated selenium python
AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_id': Implies that the find_element_by_* commands are deprecated in the latest Selenium Python libraries. Instead you have to use find_element(). See: find_element_by_* commands are deprecated in selenium
Your effective code block will be:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
s = Service('/Users/User/Desktop/it_projects/python-google-automation/Neuer Ordner/chromedriver')
driver = = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)

Exception has occurred: AttributeError 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'link'

I was doing an availability checker for some Amazon products, it was working but after I went for sometime I got back and I found this error. I don't know if I've missed something or editing something.
I hope the following information helps:
This is the error:
Exception has occurred: AttributeError 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'link'
and this is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

"URL 2"
]
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH, chrome_options=options)
def main():
# stuff
while True:
for i in range(0, len(urls)):
url = urls[i]
time.sleep(2)
print(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
driver.link(url)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '//*[#id="availability"]/span')))
print(driver.title)
availablility = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="availability"]/span')
print(availablility.text)
main()
I am using Python 3.7.9 64-bit in Visual Studio Code.

There is no webdriver.link. You probably meant to use webdriver.get:
So just change driver.link(url)
into driver.get(url)

Error while installing chrome extension through Python - selenium

I am trying to install chrome extension using Python Selenium.
When I click Add to chrome button a pop up(don't know whether it is a java scripted) is generated asking: "Add extension", "Cancel". I want to click "Add extension" but I am getting following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.NoAlertPresentException: Message: no alert open
My code:
from selenium import webdriver
import time
driver=webdriver.Chrome()
driver.implicitly_wait(30)
driver.get("https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/buyhatke/jaehkpjddfdgiiefcnhahapilbejohhj?hl=en")
time.sleep(15)
element=driver.find_element_by_css_selector("body > div.F-ia-k.S-ph.S-Rc-qa > div.h-F-f-k.F-f-k > div > div > div.e-f-o > div.h-e-f-Ra-c.e-f-oh-Md-zb-k >
div.dd-Va.g-c-wb.g-eg-ua-Uc-c-za.g-c-Oc-td-jb-oa.g-c")
element.click()
alert = driver.switch_to.alert
alert.accept()
help me to install it.
Updated code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
import os
executable_path = "C:\\Users\\SACHIN\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\chromedriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = executable_path
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension("C:\\Users\\SACHIN\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Extensions\\jaehkpjddfdgiiefcnhahapilbejohhj\\
3.4.143_0")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=executable_path,chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
driver.quit()

This is because the download option pop up that you are trying to select using switch_to.alert is not actually a JS alert pop up. You can not select is using Selenium's switch_to methods. You need to use the DesiredCapabilities class to select this option and then use it in your code.
As per the ChromeDriver documentation, given here, please use the packed( the one with .crx extension ) or unpacked extension file (directory containing the extension, including a manifest.json file) and load it using DesiredCapabilities. This can be done using
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
executable_path = "path_to_webdriver"
os.environ["webdriver.chrome.driver"] = executable_path
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_extension('path_to_extension')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=executable_path,chrome_options=chrome_options)
driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com")
driver.quit()
