Why does selenium not work on my browsers?

Question

I want to automate through python using selenium and I need help.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time

Sergo=['Sergo']
driver = webdriver.Chrome()

driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/")
print(driver.title)
search = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="search"]')
search.send_keys(Sergo)


time.sleep(5)
driver.quit()

Here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:/Users/user/Desktop/bot/automation.py", line 11, in <module>
    search.send_keys(Sergo)

  File "C:\Users\user\Desktop\bot\venv\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\remote\webelement.py", line 477, in send_keys

Answer 1

This is because you don't have the Chromedriver.

• Click on the 3 dots at the right-top in your Chrome browser

• Click on About Chrome/Chromium

• Check the version mentioned in light gray

• Go to the ChromeDriver [downloads page] (https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads).

• Download the correct version as per your browser version.

• Copy the path to ChromeDriver.exe

• As an argument,pass executable_path=r'path/to/chromedriver.exe' in driver = webdriver.Chrome().

• For example, mine is:

  driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Users\dell\Libs\chromedriver.exe')

Answer 2

Your xpath is not unique

Use this xpath:

search = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@id='search']')
