[FIXED] Why website doesn't load when I use .get method

Issue

I got problem with load page by chromedriver in Selenium. After running the code , new tab opens but not load page.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

"""Parametry drivera"""

    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_experimental_option("detach",True)
    path = "C:/Users/10200385/Downloads/chrome-win64/chrome.exe"
    service = Service(path)
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service,options=options)
    driver.get("https://techwithtim.net")
    print(driver.title)
    driver.quit()

Solution

path = "C:/Users/10200385/Downloads/chrome-win64/chrome.exe"
service = Service(path)

Above code is not correct. You should set the path of browser driver(i.e. chromedriver.exe), not the browser(chrome.exe).

Change the code and set the path of chromedriver.exe as below:

path = "C:/Users/<full path>/chromedriver.exe"
service = Service(path)

Having said the above, you don't really have to worry about setting the chromedriver.exe path manually if you are using latest selenium. Check below answers to know more.
