How to use Selenium on headless Raspberry Pi

Question

I am trying to get Selenium (v. 4.35.0) working on my headless Raspberry Pi.

I installed Chromium and Chromedriver on the Pi. In my usr/bin/ directory I have chromedriver, chromium, and chromium-browser.

Here's the code I have tried:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

which throws NoSuchDriverException.

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

service = Service('/usr/bin/chromedriver')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service)

which throws SessionNotCreatedException with the following stacktrace:

#0 0x555629968e28 <unknown>
#1 0x5556293ce524 <unknown>
#2 0x5556294054cc <unknown>
#3 0x555629400b00 <unknown>
#4 0x555629442e24 <unknown>
#5 0x5556294427a4 <unknown>
#6 0x55562940bbd4 <unknown>
#7 0x5556299351a4 <unknown>
#8 0x55562993812c <unknown>
#9 0x555629937d08 <unknown>

#15 0x555629967c08 <unknown>
#16 0x7fff2f71202c <unknown>
#17 0x7fff2f77bf58 <unknown>

always put full error message (traceback) because there are other useful information. — furas

there is similar site for Raspberry Pi. There is also official forum Raspberry Pi — furas

in question you could also add information which version of RPi you use and what system you have (Rasbian, Debian, etc.) and which version of this system you installed. — furas

@furas , Selenium doesn't currently support installing or using chromedriver for Linux on ARM architecture. — Corey Goldberg

You will need to run it or launch the browser in headless mode using driver options as I assume there is no GUI for your headless Raspberry Pi.
