I'm using anaconda, jupyter and have pip and pip3 installed webdriver_manager yet I keep getting this error when I try to run my python3 code. When I run the code in terminal

$ pip install webdriver_manager

I had the same issue. In my case the solution was python3.8 -m pip install webdriver_manager and now it works

There is another solution in case you are using Visual Studio Code;

VSCode sometimes is unable to autocomplete some python packages which cause imports to fail even when they run correctly when ran from CLI. This happens very often. The solution is to add such paths to the autocomplete path list on VSCode settings.json.

settings.json is found at:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
  • macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
  • Linux: $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json

And add the path to the webdriver_manager package to the python.autoComplete.extraPaths, in this case the path to like this:

{
   "editor.suggestSelection": "first",
   "vsintellicode.modify.editor.suggestSelection": "automaticallyOverrodeDefaultValue",
   "git.autofetch": true,
   "python.languageServer": "Microsoft",
   "python.autoComplete.extraPaths": [
       "path/to/webdriver_manager"
    ]
}
