How do I install ChromeDriver on Windows 10 and run Selenium tests with Chrome?

Question

We have an Ubuntu server which we use for running Selenium tests with Chrome and Firefox (I installed ChromeDriver) and I also want to run the tests locally on my Windows 10 com

Answer 1

1. Download the chromedriver.exe and save it to a desired location
2. Specify the executable_path to its saved path

The sample code is below:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('headless')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="path/to/chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)
driver.get("example.html")
# do something here...
driver.close()

As Uri stated in Update #2 of the question, if we put the chromedriver.exe under C:/Windows, then there is no need to specify executable_path since Python will search under C:/Windows.
