Still whenever I am trying to use webdrivermanager I’m facing an error.

  • Code Block:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
    
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=ChromeDriverManager().install())
    driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
    
  • Console Output:

    C:UsersusernameDesktopDebanjanPyPrograms>webdriverManagerChrome.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "C:UsersusernameDesktopDebanjanPyProgramswebdriverManagerChrome.py", line 2, in <module>
        from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'webdriver_manager'

First install webdriver manager using the following command in command prompt opened from the python file path.

pip install webdriver-manager.

Next open your pycharm tool and go to settings -> project interpreter -> and click on + icon and search for webdriver-manager and install that.

And run the below code:

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

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

I found that this one worked for me so:

pip3 install webdrivermanager

Not sure if it’ll help anyone, but pip3 works better than normal pip as it installs correct dependencies

It is an installation error.

It can be solved by:

pip install webdriver_manager

Answered By: bansi923

some times just restarting your code editor can be the ultimate solution
that is what worked for me after spending 2 hours on the web trying to find out why the webdriver_manager is not picked up by python

use this to install

pip install webdriver_manager

and then restart your VScode if that is what you are using as a code editor
I don’t know why I have to but it worked the time waste.

Use this in code:

Make sure u have installed a correct python version.

I have noted that it works on python version 3.7 or lower version.

If you are using chromium browser for execution then you can:

  1. Install webdriver with following command:
pip install webdriver-manager
  1. When importing in your python file you should use:
from webdriver_manager.**core**.utils import ChromeType

Go to Pycharm preference -> Python Interpreter click at + button to add new module and search for webdriver-manager and install it manually. This resolved my problem in mac.
