[FIXED] Python Selenium Error: Cannot find Opera binary

Issue

i'm trying out Python Selenium with my main browser, Opera, but i get a massive error when i execute the script, here's the python script:

from selenium import webdriver
path = r"C:\Users\sleep\Programs\operadriver_win64\operadriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Opera(executable_path=path)
driver.get('https://youtube.com')

And here's the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\sleep\Programs\Status-Entrega\main.py", line 6, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Opera(executable_path=r'C:\Users\sleep\Programs\operadriver_win64\operadriver.exe')

How can i fix this?

Solution

can you try this :

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.opera.options import Options

options = Options()
options.binary_location = r'C:\opera.exe path'
driver = webdriver.Opera(opera_options = options, 
executable_path=r'C:\operadriver.exe path')

it might work, don't forget one is the opera path and one is the operadriver path
