Plz help.

What am I doing wrong here, I have checked permissions, changed path and can't get even a browser open :L 

import os, random, sys, time
from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='driver/chromedriver.exe')

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/james/Documents/GitHub/LinkedIn/Scrape.py", line 5, in browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='driver/chromedriver.exe') File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium-4.0.0a3-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 62, in init service_log_path, service, keep_alive) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium-4.0.0a3-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/chromium/webdriver.py", line 77, in init self.service.start() File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/selenium-4.0.0a3-py2.7.egg/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 88, in start os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message) selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable may have wrong permissions.

  • From the error message, it looks like you are attempting to use a **Windows** executable on a **UNIX** (Linux?) machine. You have to get chromedriver for your OS. – SiKing Feb 07 '20 at 21:18
  • @DebanjanB Your linked answer is going to lead Jimmy down the wrong path. His problem is running .exe on (possibly) MacOS. – SiKing Feb 07 '20 at 21:32
  • @SiKing thank you! I added .exe onto the end of it for some reason (using mac) – Jimmy Feb 08 '20 at 03:21
