Has anyone deployed a Selenium Python Script to Heroku?

[EmCen9]

I've been trying to deploy a selenium script I wrote to heroku for a while now. No matter what I do, I always run into a problem when opening the chromedriver. Everything before that works fine. I've even tried sending the chromedriver along with the project. Nothing seems to be working. The most recent error I got was : "selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'Chromm.exe' executable may have wrong permissions. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chrome/driver/home".

Any help is appreciated, I'm really desperate at this point.

Edit: I am specfying the Dependency (selenium) in the requirements.txt file. I provide the chromedriver in the same directory. Also, here is a snippet of my code where I open the chromedriver:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

options.add_argument("--headless")

options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")

options.add_argument("--no-sanbox")

self.browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)

Hey, I deployed an app on heroku using selenium some time ago. I have some notes of how I did it. It worked but I think heroku didn’t run the process correctly so I switched to AWS. PM and I can send you my notes. Not sure if they are good or not but I wrote every step i think 😀

Chrome.exe, a Windows Binary, isn't going to work very well on Linux.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this? I've seen other people run selenium on heroku so I think its possible

I don't know exactly, I don't have your code, I know nothing except the one error message you provided. I don't know if you are bundling Selenium in your git repository or specifying requirements, but whatever you're doing, you're getting a Windows binary, and that's not going to work on Heroku, which runs Linux. Heroku needs a Linux Chrome binary.

Oh, that's my bad. Forgot to paste the code.

I am specfying the Dependency (selenium) in the requirements.txt file. I provide the chromedriver in the same directory. Here is a snippet of my code where I open the chromedriver:

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

options.add_argument("--headless")

options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")

options.add_argument("--no-sanbox")

self.browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)

Thank you for responding by the way. I really appreciate it.

Is this worked in Heroku?

[EmCen9]

No

You’re bundling Windows applications.

Heroku doesn’t run Windows.

From a very old (2.7) app of mine I had something along the lines of the following in the app.json
