selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH with GeckoDriver Selenium Firefox
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I haven't programmed in years. I am trying to learn to automate a task for work. I was able to successfully install selenium for Python after having some issues.
This is the simple program I am trying to test to make sure my installation was successful.
Note - I was having issues installing selenium so I had to set the path and some other stuff. So I'm thinking some of those changes might have affected running this Python program.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("http://www.python.org")
assert "Python" in driver.title
elem = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
elem.clear()
elem.send_keys("pycon")
elem.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
assert "No results found." not in driver.page_source
driver.close()
When I run the program on the command prompt this is what I get.

I am new at Python and selenium and I want to build an webdriver or bot respectively. I tried to execute the code below with inserting "python3 main.py" and with running the code on VS code but it is not working. The error result is enclosed. I am using Mac. The chromedriver exec is in the same main folder like the code I am writing, so actually the Path should be right. I tried different ways to solve my problem but non of them worked. I have the right chromedriver version on my mac and I even allowed my system to open the chromedriver folder.

Closed last year.
I will provide my code, with included error message. I believe I need to move the gecko driver to PATH, but I tried to do some research on how to do this and unfortunately I didn't find anything definitive. I'm hoping that someone could give me a hand.

I can run the script for autotesting.

from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "Z:\PyProjects\venv\Scripts\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://google.com/")

I don't have any idea what to make of this. And I haven't found anyone with the same issue. Anyone know a fix?
You need to chromedriver binary and the path of binary as below:
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver.exe')
Download your chromedriver as per your chrome version from below location :
https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html
