I'm trying to click the "Launch Earth" button with this block of code.
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Web
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
url = 'https://www.google.com/earth/'
driver = webdriver.chrome()
driver.get(url)
wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 10)
launchEarthButton = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '/html/body/header/div/nav[1]/ul[2]/li[2]/a/span/span' ))
launchEarthButton.click()
However, I get the error message below. What is wrong? For reference, I am using a MacOs computer. I had the issue of wrong path come up previously but I solved it with ChromeDriverManager.

You were close. As you have used:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
The cached / downloaded ChromeDriver will be used to initiate a new google-chrome Browsing Context.
So you need to remove the second instance of driver = webdriver.Chrome()
