Executable needs to be in PATH - Running Selenium on GNURoot on Android

Selenium installed using pip.

Trying to run below code :

import selenium

from selenium import webdriver

\#driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/bin/chromedriver')

time.sleep(5)

driver.quit()

What I get:

python 5formscrape-selenium.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "5formscrape-selenium.py", line 5, in driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/usr/bin/chromedriver')

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 62, in init self.service.start()

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 81, in start os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message) selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

$PATH contains /usr/bin/chromedriver

chromedriver file is in /usr/bin with privileges

sudo chmod a*x chromedriver

So what I'm missing here?

chromdriver needs to be in PATH means the directory in which it is present should be in PATH and not the whole PATH itself. Change

$PATH=/usr/bin/chromedriver:....

to

$PATH=/usr/bin/:....

Remove chromedriver, so selenium can search for chromedriver in /usr/bin
