Selenium with python script

I’m new to selenium and I keep running into the same error. I’m working on a windows os and have selenium version is v4.6.0.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')
driver.get('https://www.selenium.dev/')
print(driver.title)
driver.quit()

But I keep running into this error and the path for the driver is correct.

Error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\chris\development\automation\selenium\index.py", line 5, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

>Solution :

The issue is in the below line:

driver = webdriver.Chrome('chromedriver.exe')

If your selenium version is v4.6.0 or above, then you don’t need to set the path for chromedriver.exe, so your code can be simplified as below:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.selenium.dev/')
print(driver.title)
driver.quit()
