python selenium chromedriver on amazon linux / aws Lambda

Question

I've converted my locally running scraper to be usable on aws lambda. I followed using the guides, tools, and examples:

import os
from selenium import webdriver

 # Chrome Driver Client
    class ChromeClient:

        # set up setting of web driver
        def __init__(self, logger):
            # setup logger
            self._tmp_folder = '/tmp/'
            try:
                if not os.path.exists(self._tmp_folder):
                    os.makedirs(self._tmp_folder)

                if not os.path.exists(self._tmp_folder + '/user-data'):
                    os.makedirs(self._tmp_folder + '/user-data')

                if not os.path.exists(self._tmp_folder + '/data-path'):
                    os.makedirs(self._tmp_folder + '/data-path')

                if not os.path.exists(self._tmp_folder + '/cache-dir'):
                    os.makedirs(self._tmp_folder + '/cache-dir')
            except Exception as ex:
                logger.error('problem with {0}'.format(ex))
            try:

                chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
                chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--window-size=1280x1696')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=/tmp/user-data')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--hide-scrollbars')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--enable-logging')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--log-level=0')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--v=99')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--single-process')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--data-path=/tmp/data-path')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--homedir=/tmp')
                chrome_options.add_argument('--disk-cache-dir=/tmp/cache-dir')
                chrome_options.add_argument('user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.81 Safari/537.36')
                chrome_options.binary_location = os.getcwd() + "/bin/headless-chromium"
            except Exception as ex:
                logger.error('problem with {0}'.format(ex))

            try:
                logger.info('__init__(), Init Chrome Driver')
                print('make me some chrome')
                try:
                    self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options)
                except Exception as ex:
                    logger.error('chrome problem with {0}'.format(ex))
                self.driver.maximize_window()
                self.driver.delete_all_cookies()
                self.driver.set_page_load_timeout(120)
                self.driver.implicitly_wait(5)
                self.driver.delete_all_cookies()
            except Exception as ex:
                logger.error('problem with {0}'.format(ex))

Every time it gets to webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=chrome_options) I see the error:

Service chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127

Any ideas?

any help with this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49323099/webdriverexception-message-service-chromedriver-unexpectedly-exited-status-co — Paolo, May 24 '20 at 23:40

Looks to be about what I'm struggling with too. One of my first issues was that I didn't have the proper chromium browser binary uploaded to Lambda with the package (it will live in /opt/* when you do upload it) so make sure that the binary is referenced properly if it's uploaded.

that's interesting, i'm well beyond some other solution but it's good to know for future projects, thanks – GeneralBear Jul 29 '21 at 15:37

there is a version conflicts with respect to chromedriver and binary file ....https://github.com/soumilshah1995/Selenium-on-AWS-Lambda-Python3.7/blob/main/chrome_headless.zip you can add this zip file as layer to your lambda function you wont get 127 status code
