Install on Cygwin with Python 3.9 fails

Open dschultzca opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Is this supposed to work? I get this error when running pip install chromedriver-binary after it downloads chromedriver-binary-117.0.5937.0.0.tar.gz

File "/tmp/pip-install-cmh2puh0/chromedriver-binary_ddab4269d65e49cd8ae1b1b04be086d8/chromedriver_binary/utils.py", line 85, in get_chromedriver_url
      raise RuntimeError('Could not determine chromedriver download URL for this platform.')
  RuntimeError: Could not determine chromedriver download URL for this platform.
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error
...

Using:

$ python3.9
Python 3.9.16 (main, Mar  8 2023, 22:47:22)
[GCC 11.3.0] on cygwin

On: Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎2023-‎07-‎26 OS build 22621.2134 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22659.1000.0

With Chrome: Version 115.0.5790.171 (Official Build) (64-bit)

In the past (years ago) I have been able to install chromedriver-binary (2.40.1) in Python 2.7 on Cygwin.

It appears the latest version of selenium makes chromedriver-binary obsolete as it will download the Chrome driver binary if it's not found on the system.
