I'm new with Selenium and I have this error:

WebDriverException: WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH

What this error means and how to fix it?

    Usually that error means that you are not specifying the path of the `chromedriver`. Can you please attach the code which gives you that error? – KunLun Jul 16 '21 at 14:39

This happens when the path for the chromedriver.exe file is wrong. The chromedriver.exe file can be stored in your local. Suppose the .exe file is in the C: drive → Chromedriver folder, this would be the correct path:
"C:\Chromedriver\chromedriver.exe"

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\Chromedriver\chromedriver.exe")
