I searched and found this answer which suggested to update your chromedriver so i installed latest chromedriver and update the path in /etc/paths but still i am getting same error , then i tried to understand the error and i thought maybe its because of session so i tried to create session with requests library in python :

import requests
MAX_RETRIES = 20


art="https://www.google.com"
session = requests.Session()
adapter = requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter(max_retries=MAX_RETRIES)
session.mount('https://', adapter)
session.mount('http://', adapter)
r = session.get(art)

But no luck , I am not getting how to solve this error , my code is :

from splinter import Browser
import pandas as pd



url="https://www.google.com"


browser = Browser('chrome')
browser.visit(url)

search_bar_xpath = '//*[@id="lst-ib"]'
search_bar = browser.find_by_xpath(search_bar_xpath)[0]
search_bar.fill("Tony_stark is Iron_Man")


search_button_xpath = '//*[@id="tsf"]/div[2]/div[3]/center/input[1]'
search_button = browser.find_by_xpath(search_button_xpath)[0]
search_button.click()


search_results_xpath = '//h3[@class="r"]/a'
search_results = browser.find_by_xpath(search_results_xpath)


scraped_data = []
for search_result in search_results:

    title = search_result.text.encode('utf8')
    link = search_result["href"]
    scraped_data.append((title, link))

df = pd.DataFrame(data=scraped_data, columns=["title", "link"])
df.to_csv("links.csv")

Answer 1

I thinks your chromedriver is not updated Please update it from this link

https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/

Also i dont see the path of chromedriver in your code like this

from selenium import webdriver 
driver=webdriver.Chrome('D:\\Sankalp_Python\\Python36\\selenium\\chromedriver.exe')
