Hiiiii,
I want to scratch a text from the web page with simple code:
from selenium import webdriver
# Set options to make browsing easier
#Function is responsible to create a driver and return that driver.
def get_driver():
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("start-maximized")
chrome_options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
chrome_options.add_argument("disable-dev-shm-usage")
chrome_options.add_argument("no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"])
chrome_options.add_argument("disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options = chrome_options)
#connect driver to a web page
driver.get("http://automated.pythonanywhere.com")
#return driver for this particular web page
return driver
def main():
driver = get_driver()
element = driver.find_element(by = "xpath", value = "/html/body/div[1]/div/h1[1]")
return element.text
print(main())
The error message:
WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /root/.cache/selenium/chrome/linux64/115.0.5790.170/chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Can you explain what does this error mean and how can I solve it?
