Selenium in python - Browser closing immediately after open testprogamm

Question

As soon as I run my program, google opens (so far so good) but this window closes immediately after the program has run. I already installed the chromdriver (also matches the version of the search engine) and put it in the script folder in Python. Can someone help me?

Here is my Code:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("http://google.com")

@Sushil yess, thats my full code. Just wanted to see if I can start a website with this code. But it doesn't work — python_beginner, Oct 04 '20 at 14:09
Plus, one mistake that I noticed is that the url of google is incorrect. It should be ```https://www.google.com/``` rather than ```http://www.google.com/``` IDK if this is the problem, but this is a mistake that I noticed in ur code. — Sushil, Oct 04 '20 at 14:09
No, opens up the website and close it immediately. Same probem again. — python_beginner, Oct 04 '20 at 14:11
Just tried to restart my computer, but it still won't work :( I'm sitting here for 3 hours and still haven't found the problem. — python_beginner, Oct 04 '20 at 14:17
:( Recheck whether ur chromedriver matches ur chrome version. — Sushil, Oct 04 '20 at 14:18
I have deleted the old one and installed the new one just to check i use the right version. But it still crashes :( I don't know what to do anymore — python_beginner, Oct 04 '20 at 14:19
Oh :( I really don't know what the problem is. I don't think that I can help u anymore. Sry. Maybe one thing that u can do is download geckodriver and run the same code using it. — Sushil, Oct 04 '20 at 14:21
In order to use geckodriver, replace ```webdriver.Chrome()``` with ```webdriver.Firefox()```. — Sushil, Oct 04 '20 at 14:23
Tried it. Still doesn't work. I don't know what to do anymore. Anyways, thank you for your help! — python_beginner, Oct 04 '20 at 14:31

You need to specify an excecutable path for a chrome driver to be able to open a browser. download a driver based on your browser in your case it's Chrome from here: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

then driver = webdriver.Chrome(here you have to write the path of the driver),you can put it wherever you want.
