@joeyism I am having same issue (attached)

[reddyakilesh22]

Yup, I'm getting the same thing as @sargupta. @joeyism Please look into this.

[joeyism]

It seems like this has to do with linkedin not letting you login. If you don't use --headless, what does Linkedin on Chrome look like?

[akshayminocha5]

Having the same issue

[reddyakilesh22]

@akshayminocha5 Bro add/do these changes and it will work.

from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())

I have the same problem but the solution proposed don't work for me. This is my code:

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument("--disable-notifications")
options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False)
options.binary_location='/usr/bin/chromium-browser'
driver_binary = "/usr/bin/chromedriver"

#driver = webdriver.Chrome(driver_binary, chrome_options=options)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install(), chrome_options=options)

email = "username@gmail.com"
password = "password"
actions.login(driver, email, password)

I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/webdriver_manager/utils.py in chrome_version(browser_type)
    140     version = re.search(pattern, stdout)
    141     if not version:
--> 142         raise ValueError(f'Could not get version for Chrome with this command: {cmd}')
    143     current_version = version.group(0)
    144     return current_version

ValueError: Could not get version for Chrome with this command: google-chrome --version || google-chrome-stable --version

And this is my chrome and chromedriver versions:

• Chromium 87.0.4280.66 Built on Ubuntu
• ChromeDriver 87.0.4280.66

Please help!

Do you have google-chrome or google-chrome-stable installed?

No, I only installed Chromium browser!

[joeyism]

@dazulu4 you need to install google-chrome or google-chrome-stable
