Answer 1

Changes in Selenium 4.10.0 cause this issue, as it removes “executable_path”: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/commit/9f5801c82fb3be3d5850707c46c3f8176e3ccd8e

You can bypass this removal by using “service”:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

service = Service(executable_path='./chromedriver.exe')
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

Another option would be using any older version of Selenium.
