selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException：消息：未知错误：Chrome 无法启动：在 Python 中使用 ChromeDriver 和 Selenium 崩溃

Question

This is my code script:

from selenium import webdriver

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\hadi\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data") #Path to your chrome profile
w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="E:\Python\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)
w.get("https://www.facebook.com")

and on running this script i'm getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:/Python/MoosaBhai/TestoTes.py", line 6, in <module>
    w = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="E:\\Python\\chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=options)

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.38.552522 (437e6fbedfa8762dec75e2c5b3ddb86763dc9dcb),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17134 x86_64)

I've edited my executeable path to chromedriver but when i run the script my chrome driver opens but after that stuck for 2-3minutes and then crashes with the above following error.

Thumb rule

A common cause for Chrome to crash during startup is running Chrome as root user ( administrator ) on Linux. While it is possible to work around this issue by passing --no-sandbox flag when creating your WebDriver session, such a configuration is unsupported and highly discouraged. You need to configure your environment to run Chrome as a regular user instead.

As per your code trials seems you are trying to access a Chrome Profile so you can use the following solution:

• Code Block:

   from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options options = Options() options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\\\path\\\\to\\\\your\\\\profile\\\\Google\\\\Chrome\\\\User Data\\\\Profile 2") driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\\path\\to\\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options) driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
