Deprecation issues when using Selenium with PyCharm CE

I am trying to run Selenium through PyCharm CE on MacOS, and am attempting to run it with Google Chrome.

However, whenever I run the following:

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Chrome("/Users/louiscage/PycharmProjects/SeleniumPractice/chromedriver")

browser.get('https://inventwithpython.com')

This is the result:

/Users/louiscage/PycharmProjects/SeleniumPractice/SeleniumPractice.py:3: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
  browser = webdriver.Chrome("/Users/louiscage/PycharmProjects/SeleniumPractice/chromedriver")

I had downloaded the Chromedriver and Geckodriver for Mac64, and placed it in the proper directory for my PyCharm project. But I still can't seem to find a solution to this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As what the warning said: please pass in a Service object, so you should do it like this instead:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

    service = Service("/Users/louiscage/PycharmProjects/SeleniumPractice/chromedriver")
    browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)

    browser.get('https://inventwithpython.com')

Pass the executable path on the chrome Service class and put it on a variable service. And then pass it to the webdriver chrome.

This deprecation issue is appearing on Selenium, Pip and Python updates. For that all you have to do is the following:.

Use the following code & pip install all the python libraries

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
s = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)
browser.get('https://inventwithpython.com')

The following worked for me in several versions of webdriver.

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

CHROME_DRIVER_PATH = "C:\Development\chromedriver.exe"
service = Service(CHROME_DRIVER_PATH)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)
