Latest chrome versions don't appear to be getting added on PyPI

Latest chrome versions don't appear to be getting added on PyPI.

chromedriver-py PyPI release history: https://pypi.org/project/chromedriver-py/#history

Latest version available currently on chromedriver-py PyPI page is 120.0.6099.109 Dec 18, 2023.

According to https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/last-known-good-versions-with-downloads.json the latest stable version is 121.0.6167.85 as well as dev and beta builds for 122 and 123.

I just noticed this today haven't had much time to look into it. I'm not sure if the latest stable build was just pushed recently to JSON or something. If so there might just be a delay in the PyPI package update. But I did do a google search and 121 stable apparently released Jan 17th so I'm not 100% sure if there is an issue with the project updating or not but might be worth checking. I'll check back on this soon.

Missing release for Chrome 115?

I noticed Chrome 115 has launched recently but still don't see it as part of chromedriver-py releases. https://pypi.org/project/chromedriver-py/#history.

Could there be a bug?

Where does chromedriver-py pull releases from?

Edit: I see now it is probably not a bug. Chrome version 115 is just not listed in their api yet https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/

Unable to run find binary after built to .exe

The python script to call the chrome browser can be run in .py format. However, it fails to run after built to .exe file. The error is as below: (I ran the script on window 10)

Couldn't find a binary for your system: darwin / arm64.

Hello! After a recent chromedriver version bump, I am getting this message:

Couldn't find a binary for your system: darwin / arm64.

It appears that since 106.0.5249.61 the zip file name is now chromedriver_mac_arm64 instead of chromedriver_mac_m1.

Happy to help contribute a patch to help out.

chromdriver_py binary missing after running pyinstaller

After running pyinstaller to create an exe of my project and running the .exe that pyinstaller spits out, I get the error: "Couldn't find a binary for your system: windows / amd64. Please create an Issue on github.com/breuerfelix/chromedriver-py and include this Message." I have an AMD Ryzen 7 7600X processor and I'm on Windows 11 if that matters. The issue comes from the line in my code below

"File "main.py", line 20, in
from chromedriver_py import binary_path

I'm not sure what breaks between before running pyinstaller and after, but the chromdriver_py binary seems to not get packaged with the .exe and placing the chromedriver.exe file into the dist or main folders that pyinstaller create for me, doesn't seem to work. Googling the error I quoted at the beginning only leads me here to where someone had a similar issue, but with an M1, which isn't my system. If you have any ideas, that'd be fantastic.

Follow up question to #26

Hello,

great that it works with cx_freeze.
I like pyinstaller because it creates a single executable.
Do you have any plans to fix this problem?

thanks,

Michael

Any idea how to fix this error? In my requirements file I have chromedriver_py== 92.0.4515.43 mentioned. Any other dependencies that I need to install?

The issue seems to be originating from here:

Issue with update lag between Chrome and chromedriver-py

Hello, sorry to bother you again.

My Google Chrome just now updated to Version 98.0.4758.102 (Official Build) (arm64) and there is a corresponding chromedriver in https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/ but chromedriver-py has not yet been updated to include the new chromedriver.

I did see the readme section about github actions to trigger a new build for pushing a new version to pypi. I am guessing I'm not a developer and therefor cannot trigger the workflow.

Perhaps we have a way of running the workflow more often or ideally make it event driven, tied to whenever a new chrome release is made? (I'd also settle for being made a dev so I can trigger the workflow when necessary but I can understand how you'd prefer to keep the developer list short)

This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 85

Chrome seems to think I am on the latest, 84, and yet the latest chromedriver_py only supports 85. How do I resolve this? How do I reconcile this?

Chrome-stable is v96, but this Chromedriver-py doesn't support

Google-chrome-stable is currently at version 96: https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/pm/google-chrome-beta .. but I can't figure out why this command doesn't work:

pip3 install chromedriver-py==96.0.4664.110

Response:

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

chromedriver-py has been updated recently and seems to support v97.. did it just skip v96? Thanks for any help in clarifying.

Exception: Couldn't find a binary for your system: Darwin / arm64

Exception: Couldn't find a binary for your system: Darwin / arm64. Please create an Issue on github.com/breuerfelix/chromedriver-py and include this Message.

This was attempted on a MBA M1 with Python 3.9.4 (I am helping a coworker setup my tool on this machine). The system is clearly Darwin and the machine is "arm64" so I'd assume that path simply isn't a file. As to why that is, I do not know.

I noticed you simplified the logic regarding M1 somewhat recently, could that have caused a regression?

I myself am on an identical machine and I do not have this issue (but I know my coworker has also setup Python 2.7 on his box (due to reasons)) so it isn't as bog standard as my own setup.

I'd be happy to help debug this, I just don't know what would be of use to us.

I even tried installing a previous version, but it didn't help. I would really appreciate some help!

travis push current version

travis is currently not pushing the latest version to GitHub.

the auto update works anyways, since it skips existing packages.
it would still be pretty if travis could update the latest version to the repo.

Do we want logic to handle chrome - chromedriver-py missmatch?

Hello,

Long time fan by the way.

I've written a bit of logic to handle the times when my version of Chrome is higher than the current latest version that chromedriver-py can offer. Sometimes an outdated but still very recent version of chromedriver will still get the job done so I wrote code to handle that for my users.

Maybe other people would find that useful too?

I'd be happy to work with you to adapt my code to fit into this project.

Issue with using pyInstaller / auto-py-2-exe and chromedriver_py

Hello,
it is my first time using GitHub Issue, so I hope I don't mess it up.

I'm trying to convert a python file to an *.exe with "chromedriver_py" in it.

In PyCharm my program is working perfectly, no errors / exceptions or anything, but when I'm converting it to exe using PyInstaller or autopy2exe, no matter if it's onefile, or onedirectory (bundle) it throws me an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm importing it like this (with selenium, but you can ignore that, I guess):

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.common.exceptions import WebDriverException
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from subprocess import CREATE_NO_WINDOW
from chromedriver_py import binary_path  # chromedriver_py

And using it in code:

# Just a small test function
def test_func():
    chrome_options = Options()
    chrome_options.add_argument("--start-maximized")
    service = Service(binary_path)  # Getting the binary path of Chromedriver
    service.creationflags = CREATE_NO_WINDOW  # No cmd-prompt when selenium's working

    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options, service=service)

I've tried also to use --hidden-import with chromedriver_py as a pyInstaller option, sadly it also not worked.

Some details:

Python 3.10.0
PyInstaller 4.8
chromedriver_py >97, <98
selenium 4.1.0

I would be very, very, very thankful if you could help me out with this.

ChromeDriver support for Chrome v93

v93.0.4577 of Chrome was released on the 31st of August, so chromedriver_py support isn't currently available.

chromedriver.exe version is ahead of publicly released Chrome browser version

HI! Thanks for your package. I have an issue right now. The latest chromedriver.exe that is downloaded is in version 89, but Chrome is still in 88 and 89 is still in beta and I cannot update it. Is there something else I can do?
