Selenium – TypeError: Can't instantiate abstract class Service without an implementation for abstract method 'command_line_args'

Firstly I want to point out that I’m new to python and web scraping and I was learning how to web scrape with selenium.

I precisely followed a tutorial on how to set it up and suddenly an error occured – I searched for fixes on the web but I couldn’t find one.

Can anyone help?

here is a screenshot of the code:

>Solution :

Change this:

from selenium.webdriver.common.service import Service 

To:

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

Suggestion: If you are using selenium v4.6.0 or higher, you don’t need to manually set the driver path. Hence you don’t need Service class.

Code can be as simple as:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
driver.quit()
