I want to specify the path to a file in a python project on the pythonanywhere site. Unfortunately, I am getting an error. Here are pictures of the folder and console

Code:

driver = uc.Chrome(options=options, driver_executable_path="/user/KraKoff/files/home/KraKoff/chromedriver.exe")

Console

Folder

  • Isn't that file just in /home/KraKoff/chromedriver.exe? There's nothing in the console that indicates that /user/KraKoff/files is part of the path. Commented Aug 19, 2022 at 19:14

You are using

pythonanywhere

So you need to download and use the ChromeDriver executable of type instead of the type and you need to pass the absolute path without the extension i.e. .exe.

Solution

Your effective line of code will be:

driver = uc.Chrome(options=options, driver_executable_path="/user/KraKoff/files/home/KraKoff/chromedriver")

Downloaded linux version. With /user/KraKoff/files/home/KraKoff/chromedriver path the error stays the same. Tried /home/KraKoff/chromedriver and now and now the error is this: Message: 'chromedriver' executable may have wrong permissions. Please see chromedriver.chromium.org/home Added print(uc.Patcher.data_path) in code and aslo in console is PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/KraKoff/chromedriver'
Hi! facing the same problem. Have you managed to resolve the permission issue?

Do not specify the chromedriver path on PythonAnywhere. It is not necessary.
