After running the above command this error shows:

Chrome failed to launch. Retrying with additional server options. To add server options by default, include '--server' in your launch command.

Does "python main.py --server" works? Also, in which system are you running it?

I'm also facing this issue. Using the gitpod space it works but trying to use it with GitHub codespaces I get an error(chrome crashes). Also with docker it crashes. But it works on windows.

I believe that to get the Google Maps scraper working, we need to add a set of options to Chrome. Could you please open src/scraper.py and modify the add_arguments function as shown below? After making these changes, please try running the scraper again.

Original add_arguments function:

def add_arguments(data, options):
    options.add_experimental_option(
        "prefs", {
            "profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2,
            # "profile.managed_default_content_settings.stylesheet": 2,
            # "profile.managed_default_content_settings.fonts": 2,
        }
    )

Updated add_arguments function with additional arguments:

def add_arguments(data, options):
    options.add_experimental_option(
        "prefs", {
            "profile.managed_default_content_settings.images": 2,
            # "profile.managed_default_content_settings.stylesheet": 2,
            # "profile.managed_default_content_settings.fonts": 2,
        }
    )

    options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
    options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")
    options.add_argument("--headless")
    options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
    options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
    options.add_argument("--disable-infobars")
