I am running following simple python3 script on Windows11:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.binary_location = 'C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe'
service = Service(executable_path='C:\\ProgramFiles\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chromedriver.exe')
webC = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, service=service)
I am getting the flowing error:

There is not error message to tell what's going wrong, and I have tried related solutions that could found in Google, such as setting Path in System Environment. But it's still occurred same exception. Also, I had the same problem when I switched to Firefox
Here are my versions:
python: 3.8.13
selenium: 4.4.0
google chrome: 104.0.5112.81
chromedriver: 104.0.5112.79
Thank you for answering my question!

Download chromedriver and extract it.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/home/debian/Downloads/chromedriver')
It works fine.
Now to test geckodriver for firefox,my firefox version is 78.0.2 (64-bit),the latest version,i have downloaded the geckodriver-v0.26.0-linux64.tar.gz and extract it.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='/home/debian/Downloads/geckodriver')
It encounter some issues:

How to fix it?
first check if selenium are downloaded with no error and make sure that the webdriver are downloaded in the path in this code driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='/home/debian/Downloads/geckodriver')
that's should fix your problem

IEDriver works fine for IE
I have Windows Visual Studio installed as https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases indicates I should.
What can I do to make this work?
This is likely an issue with FireFox version. Try updating Firefox and Selenium.
Update Firefox
Update Selenium
Reinstall/update Geckodriver
See here for more solutions.
I am trying to use chromeriver to fetch some url. But It is not working.
This is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
#from langdetect import detect, DetectorFactory
chrome_options = Options()
# chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
# chrome_options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=9222')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
chrome_options=chrome_options)
which gives me this error:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
It apparently can't start the Chrome.
If I uncomment this line in the code:
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
It stops working and I have to break it with ctrl + C
which shows this traceback:

I don't know your selenium version and geckodriver version,so what i can answer is upgrade them.
pip install -U selenium
download latest version geckodriver from here
