Error while using webdriver from selenium

Question

I was trying webscraping using selenium. I ran this code:

from selenium import webdriver
PATH = "C:\\Users\\winwin\\Documents\\Visual Studio\\chromedriver.exe"
URL = "https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/994662672/"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get(URL)

But it showed an error:

Exception has occurred: AttributeError
'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities'
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
File "C:\Users\winwin\Documents\Visual Studio\Python\ScratchScraping\main.py", line 6, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities'

What do I do?

I know that I setted up selenium and the webdriver correctly.

As long as you are using Selenium 4.6+, there is no need to manage your own chromedriver any more because they added Selenium Manager. Your code can now be simplified to

from selenium import webdriver

URL = "https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/994662672/"
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(URL)
