Google Colab error: TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got multiple values for argument 'options'

My code:

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=2050,2050")
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver',options=chrome_options)

when I ever run the code it keeps saying the following error:

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-32-8904e7337232> in <cell line: 6>()
      4 chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
      5 chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
----> 6 driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver',options=chrome_options)

TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got multiple values for argument 'options'

I tried the other solutions here, but I am using google Collab, I think there are extra things I should do to further fix this?

I need to understand what is the problem

Solution

  • You passed chromedriver inside Chrome constructor as a first argument, where constructor expects options to be passed.

    Remove first argument and issue would be fixed.

    from selenium import webdriver

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--window-size=2050,2050")
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
