[FIXED] selenium has no attribute

Issue

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

When I try to run this code, I get an error like this:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities' in  "driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())"

I was try open google with selenium but I cant open I cant fix it.

Solution

You need to use Service Class in the latest selenium versions to pass the driver executable path or ChromeDriverManager setup. See code below.

Change your code as below:

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(ChromeDriverManager().install()))

driver.get("https://www.google.com")

driver.quit()

SUGGESTION: If you are using latest selenium version, there is a more easy way to handle browser drivers. You don't need third party libraries like ChromeDriverManager. Selenium's built-in tool Selenium Manager can do what ChromeDriverManager used to do.

Code can be as simple as:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.quit()
