Selenium chromedriver in relative path for mac and python

I am trying to get selenium to use chromedriver on mac.

I have downloaded the mac version of chromedriver and added it to the same folder as my python file. I am then using:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

however it doesn't seem to be opening.

This works fine in windows but just not working on mac. anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Solution

  • You either have to provide a path to binary when creating an instance of webdrive.Chrome():

    chromedriver = "/path/to/chromedriver/folder"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)

    or chromedriver has to be in you PATH. You can add chromedriver to PATH with

    export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/chromedriver/folder
