What is the significance of chromedriver in Python?
I was working on the development of an automatic booking system but I was not aware of such tools that could assist me in the development of automation techniques. Can you provide me with such tools and their features to use it?
The chromedriver is a service provided by Google Chrome for the automation of the web with Selenium. It acts as a bridge between the Selenium web driver and the Chrome browser. If you want to use it in Python programming language then download the compatible version of chromedriver which is suitable for your Chrome browser version. The next step is setting the path to this driver using the ‘executable_path’ parameter. After that, it will enable Selenium to control and automate the Chrome browser tasks. Here is an illustration of it:-
From selenium import webdriver
Chrome_path = ‘path_to_chromedriver’
Driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chrome_path)If you follow this above-mentioned code it will certainly initialize a selenium web driver for chrome. The Chrome driver allows Selenium to navigate web pages and exercise automation tasks in the Chrome browser effectively and easily.
