I did a Python (.py) script for webscrapping, using BeautifulSoup and Selenium packages. The program works perfectly in my laptop, which runs with Ubuntu 16.04, and uses Chromedriver to access the web.
I wanted to use the same program in my Raspberry Pi, that runs with Raspbian. For this, I copied the .py file, installed BeautifulSoup4 and Selenium without any trouble. I also installed Chromedriver in my Raspberry Pi with a simple comand: pip install chromedriver
However, when I launch the program, I get that error message:
Code: Select all
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "180225_bus_display_0.6.py", line 63, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chromedriver", chrome_options=options)

self.service.start()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 88, in start

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable may have wrong permissions. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home__init__.py
__init__.pyc
In my laptop, at the equivalent folder I find many more files, notably the file chromedriver
Can anyone provide me some hints on how I can get chromedriver running in my Raspberry Pi?
Otherwise, should I change chromedriver for an alternative equivalent? Which one you recommend? I require to use it headless.
Thanks in advance for your help.
