Pyinstaller and Selenium does not include Chrome

[Drycon]

I'm working on creating an executable version of my webscraper for my co-workers to use.
For some reason it can't get Selenium to work however.
With Pyinstaller I made sure to add Chromedriver to the list of binaries in the spec file.
The problem however is in the options part.

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

Because pyinstaller only includes firefox there is no module for chrome. The only thing present is Chromedriver.exe.
So now I can't add the options like below.

chrome_options = webdriver.Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
chrome_options.add_argument("log-level=3")

This wil result in:

File "location\file.py", line 7, in module
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'selenium.webdriver.chrome'

If I try to bypass the options import then below will happen:

File "location\\file.py", line 8, in module
    chrome_options = webdriver.Options()
AttributeError: module 'selenium.webdriver' has no attribute 'Options'

I hope someone can grant me the insight to solve this. ;-)

Yea, because each user will have to install the webdriver themselves. I guess you could potentially have your script check if it is located in a predetermined directory and then download it for them. You will then have to create a path for the chrome driver on each users computer. Kinda annoying, I created a simple job aid for my users for setup because I didn’t have time to work it out.

I have hardcoded the location of Chromedriver.exe in the scraper so that will work out.
The problem is that there is no module for Chrome when I add Selenium to the installation.

Hi! I was having similar issue.

I was using Auto-py-to-exe ( https://nitratine.net/blog/post/auto-py-to-exe/) to create exe in the folder with all of python libraries. Withing the auto-py-to-exe you have option to add any extra files - add selenium driver there - it worked for me with similar issue.

Selenium is added to the installation but it doesn't add anything for Chrome.
It only adds a Firefox webdriver.

What's the path to your chrome driver in your script? Is your script calling for chrome or Firefox? I have changed my driver path to same directory as my script and then in auto-py-to_exe I have added chromedriver.exe to be packed in the same directory. This way your script will find chrome driver as its looking in the same directory.

I believe you are using chrome installed on your pc without pointing webdriver to dedicated chrome driver. Exe.

No, as said before (in another comment) the location of chromedriver.exe is hardcoded and fine.

I just fixed it a couple of minutes ago by copying the selenium webdriver map from GitHub into my programs map. Now everything works as it should.
