As of a few days ago I am getting this error every time I try and run a script. I didn't make any changes on my end so I am wondering if something in the environment changed?

Is your chromedriver configured like in the example? https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/selenium

Cheers for that link. I was not using the '--no-sandbox' flag I suddenly started getting this error a few days ago on code that has run fine for months. Adding that flag fixed it for me... even though using this flag in typical environments is frowned upon.

It looks like the result of our last deploy when we introduced some changes to our virtualization.

This works on my local machine, but I can't get this to work on my paid site I am using Python 3.7 on system image glastonbury via Jupyter Notebook in a virtualenv (venv). I have tried with both selenium 4.3.1 and 4.4.3, but neither of them work. I am using your exact code from the link above to start, but I'm getting the error after the code:

from selenium import webdriver chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox") chrome_options.add_argument("--headless") chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")

browser = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

try: browser.get("https://www.google.com") print("Page title was '{}'".format(browser.title)) finally: browser.quit()
