Question

im trying to run a selenium in python on Kubuntu 14.04. I get this error message trying with chromedriver or geckodriver, both same error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "vse.py", line 15, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'/root/Desktop/chromedriver')
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 75, in __init__
    desired_capabilities=desired_capabilities)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 156, in __init__
    self.start_session(capabilities, browser_profile)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 251, in start_session
    response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 318, in execute
    response = self.command_executor.execute(driver_command, params)

    resp = self._conn.request(method, url, body=body, headers=headers)

import time
import mapeamentos as map
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
from random import randint
import datetime
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
options = Options()
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'/root/Desktop/chromedriver')
driver.get('http://192.168.1.11:66/webclient/login.html')

This error gets fired in:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

Ive tried with options, without options, without the hardcoded path ou with the path.

I have no ideia what is happening. thanks everyone.

Answer 1

You can update your urllib3 using

pip install --upgrade --ignore-installed urllib3

Answer 2

This error message...

TypeError: urlopen() got multiple values for keyword argument 'body'

...implies that the Python Client faced an error while invoking urlopen() internally.

This error is usually caused by an older version of pip that is installed by your systems package manager and can be replaced with a newer version of pip.

Solution

Upgrading pip to the latest version (atleast v18.0) will solve your problem.

C:\Users\myUser>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
