Assertion failed in selenium web testing

Question

When I try to execute a new unit test case it displays the below error.

Note: I do not have privilege to set the path due to the I have placed the chrome web driver in D drive.

Testing started at 14:56 ... C:\Users\xxx.xxxx\PycharmProjects\Automation\venv\Scripts\python.exe "C:\Users\xx.xxx\AppData\Local\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2019.2\helpers\pycharm_jb_unittest_runner.py" --path C:/Users/xx.xxx/PycharmProjects/Automation/UnitTest_1.py Launching unittests with arguments python -m unittest C:/Users/xx.xx/PycharmProjects/Automation/UnitTest_1.py in C:\Users\xx.xxx\PycharmProjects\Automation

Error Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\xxxx\xxxxx\PycharmProjects\Automation\venv\lib\site-

When I handled the above exception, I got an another exception a below.

Check that all paths in your code are accessable to the os sys.path in python. Also, check that the *.py scripts are in directories listed in the python path list file 'python._pth'. Check your operating system instructions on updates to path, in most 'locked down' computers you can still edit the 'user path'. Another option is to create a 'runner' script - an os script of *.bat on windows or *.sh for shell. In the runner script set/add the os sys.path and add files to python path dynamically and when the script finishes the 'adds' will disappear back to lockdown only path. Submit ITIL ticket about your script to get approved by sys admins too.
