webdriver.Chrome() error : Message: Unable to locate or obtain driver for chrome

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?
