I'm new to selenium and wrote the below code to open amazon site. But when I run, I get the error which I pasted below.

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\\Users\\HP\\Desktop\\webdriver\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.amazon.in/")

I checked whether any clarifications are provided for the above query but its not available in stackoverflow.

Expected Result: Script should open Amazon website in chrome browser.

Answer 1

In my case my I was not able to make selenium 4.+ to work both in Mac or Windows. What worked, and still works, was to downgrade selenium the last stable 3 version (3.141.0) and ALSO downgrade urllib3 to 1.26.16 version.

pip install selenium==3.141.0 
pip install --upgrade urllib3==1.26.16

Far from ideal, might help as a last resource for some.

Answer 2

Getting the same

Logs: ValueError: Timeout value connect was <object object at 0x0000017E1D824540>, but it must be an int, float or None.

SOLUTION

I confirmed pip install selenium==4.9.0 could be a workaround for this. so urllib3 update since 4.9.1 caused this (as the main cause)
