CHROMEDRIVER_CHROME_BINARY TypeError: Binary Location Must be a String

Open KamarajuKusumanchi opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I am getting

TypeError: Binary Location Must be a String

when trying to run finance_dl.cli with schwab configuration. It is looking for os.getenv("CHROMEDRIVER_CHROME_BINARY") but could not find it. Could you please tell me how to fix the issue?

Steps to reproduce: Create an environment file

% cat env_test_finance-dl.yml
name: test_finance-dl
channels:
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - python=3.12
  - pip
  - pip:
    - git+https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl

Create the environment

% conda env create -f env_test_finance-dl.yml

Activate the environment

% conda activate test_finance-dl

Create a configuration file

% cat finance_dl_config.py
import os
profile_dir = os.path.join(os.getenv('HOME'), '.cache', 'finance_dl')
data_dir = '/home/rajulocal/x/x5'
def CONFIG_schwab():
    return dict(
        module='finance_dl.schwab',
        credentials={
            'username': 'XXXXXX',
            'password': 'XXXXXX',
        },
        output_directory=os.path.join(data_dir, 'schwab'),
        profile_dir=profile_dir,
        headless=False,
        min_start_date='2023-11-01'
    )

Run

% python -m finance_dl.cli --config-module finance_dl_config --config schwab

I got passed this with pip install -Iv selenium==4.2.0

Thanks @paulirish . I am able to get past this error with selenium 4.2.0 . But it looks like the schwab scraper is broken. It opens the chrome window, enters the password but it is not able to login. It does not work even if I manually enter the password. Since it is a different issue, I will open another issue for it.

The original environment file

 % cat env_test_finance-dl.yml
name: test_finance-dl
channels:
  - defaults
dependencies:
  - python=3.12
  - pip
  - pip:
    - git+https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl

The error does not show up with

  - pip
  - pip:

selenium-requests         1.4.1                    pypi_0    pypi

I am specifying the chromedriver-binary version in the environment file since it has to match with my chrome's version.

The latest version of selenium is 4.16.0 (released on 2023-12-06 as per https://pypi.org/project/selenium/#history). It would be nice if finance-dl can support the latest version. If that is not possible, the correct selenium version should be specified in the dependencies.

this is probably related to the fact that previously an empty CHROMEDRIVER_CHROME_BINARY was allowed but this is no longer the case (https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/pull/12328)

in my case I use a remote driver anyway (selenium docker container) so I decided to skip the setting if a remote is specified: https://github.com/moritzj29/finance-dl/commit/ae145aa9fb6708609549cf8f1eda8c025a07f9ed

but since people here do not mention remote drivers, I guess there needs to be some further tweaking... maybe just skip the setting if the env does not exist?
