I try to start Chromedriver with Selenium

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("http://www.google.com/")
print(driver.title)

and error msg below:

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
 (Driver info: chromedriver=2.33.506092,platform=Linux 3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64 x86_64)

I am using these:

[root@jdu4e00u53f7 workspace]# ll /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 11月 14 00:31 /usr/local/bin/chromedriver -> /opt/chromedriver
  • CentOS 7.3
  • Python(3.6.2)
  • selenium (3.7.0)
  • Google Chrome (62.0.3202.89)
  • chromedriver(2.9）/ I changed to chromedriver=2.33.506092
  • Xvfb

It is much evident from your mentioned configuration that you are using Selenium v3.7.0, Google Chrome 62.0 along with chromedriver v2.9 which is not compatible. Hence we are seeing the error WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally

The Release Notes of ChromeDriver v2.33 clearly mentions Supports Chrome v60-62

Solution:

Download the latest chromedriver v2.33 from this link and execute your testcase.

Update :

Try the following code block :

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()

OR

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/opt/chromedriver')
driver.get('https://www.google.co.in')
print("Page Title is : %s" %driver.title)
driver.quit()
