Help! Not able to use Selenium Python

Replit Help
1

Hello, Selenium used to work with Python on Replit but now faces issues. When using a custom chromedriver path, I cannot find a chromedriver variant that matches the version installed on Replit.

This is the chromium version: Chromium 108.0.5359.94
This is the closest chromedriver variant: 108.0.5359.71

When running with that chromedriver it gets incompatible error. Using the default chromedriver (without declaring any path) gets this error:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn’t exist)
(The process started from chrome location /nix/store/x205pbkd5xh5g4iv0g58xjla55has3cx-chromium-108.0.5359.94/bin/chromium is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Please help, thank you.

I’d assume it has something to do with the current outage, but idk since I’ve never used selenium. Essentially, if the reply has a non-text output, it won’t work currently. You can check the server’s condition here in case it comes back up soon
