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'

Can someone help me, if I’m missing something?

Incase it adds any value, I’m using sublimetext3

Method 1

Update (thanks to Vishal Kharde)

The documentation now suggests:

pip install webdriver-manager

Solution:

Install it like that:

pip install webdriver_manager

instead of pip install webdrivermanager.

Requirements:

The newest version, according to the documentation supports python 3.6 or newer versions:

Reference:
https://pypi.org/project/webdriver-manager/

Method 2

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())

Method 3

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

Method 4

You can try this

py -3 -m pip install webdriver_manager

Method 5

This worked for me:

python3 -m pip install webdriver-manager

I’m on windows so I’ll leave this incase it helps anyone.

Method 6

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.

Method 7

It is an installation error.

It can be solved by:

pip install webdriver_manager

Method 8

Use this in code:
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

Method 9

Make sure u have installed a correct python version.

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

Method 10

This works for me in all python version.

pip install webdriver-manager
