chromedriver doesn't work : Forums : PythonAnywhere

Hey all!

I wrote a python script that goes through the website of a local realtor, to give a notification when a room is available because the site itself doesnt have this option. My code works perfectly on my PC, but after uploading it it doesnt seem to work on pythonanywhere.

It works in the beginning, asking for input like username etc, but after that I get this error:

 /home/harmpwns/testrepo2/Test.py:52: DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="chromedriver.exe", options=options)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise WebDriverException(
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/home

does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance
