WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see 
https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

Thank you for the report @max. I will look into your problem more detail on Monday.

btw are you the same Max I talked with on Developers Slack about Unicode problem on Saturday ? Were you able already to solve problem with chromedriver and then got the unicode problem next ?

You can test if it actually is in the python PATH, if you open a cmd and type in chromedriver and hit Enter. If Starting ChromeDriver 2.15.322448 is appearing, the PATH is set appropriately and there is something else going wrong. Then try the following:

Download ChromeDriver

Then you have multiple options:

  • Add it to your system path
  • Put it in the same directory as your python script
  • Specify the location directly via executable_path

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=‘C:/path/to/chromedriver.exe’)
