Hi, I've been struggling to run webdriver.Chrome() in my Databricks.

1) I installed a chromedriver :

%sh

# Download ChromeDriver

wget https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/119.0.6045.105/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zip -O /tmp/chromedriver.zip

# Remove the existing directory if it exists

rm -rf /tmp/chromedriver

mkdir /tmp/chromedriver

unzip /tmp/chromedriver.zip -d /tmp/chromedriver/

chmod +x /tmp/chromedriver/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver

output :

Archive: /tmp/chromedriver.zip

inflating: /tmp/chromedriver/chromedriver-linux64/LICENSE.chromedriver

inflating: /tmp/chromedriver/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver

2) check it is indeed installed :

ls /tmp/chromedriver/chromedriver-linux64/

output :

LICENSE.chromedriver chromedriver

3) run the script

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

# Create the Service object with the correct path to chromedriver

chrome_service = Service(executable_path='/tmp/chromedriver/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver.exe')

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

options.add_argument("--headless")

options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")

options.add_argument("--disable-dev-shm-usage")

options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")

options.add_experimental_option("prefs",{"download.default_directory":"/databricks/driver"})

# Create the WebDriver instance

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

However, I keep getting this error message "Unable to locate or obtain driver for chrome" in the last line where I run webdriver.Chrome()

Does anyone know what the problem is?
