Selenium Webdriver Issue w/ Chrome in Python: Traceback Errors & Can't Determine Loading Status

Question

Attempting to run a code found from this github project

I keep running into the following errors:

DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:12522/devtools/browser/17d610a1-0dc4-45da-8766-b1592dd689ab

I am using windows 64.. I'm not sure if Selenium can't find the path or what the issue is. Currently, the program opens Linkedin before the error occurs. I've tried numerous different solutions inlcuding different versions of chrome, and different paths to Selenium and Chrome.

If I use Chrome version 2.41 (the latest) I get this message...

Thanks! & Let me know if I can be of any help.

Answer 1

Update - You are trying to click an element that is not visible or clicking on another span because of an overlay over the button, given the error here -

Other element would receive the click: <a id="ember1706" data-control-name="premium_nav_upsell_text_click" title="Free Upgrade to Premium" href="/premium/products/?destRedirectURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fjobs%2F%3FshowPremiumWelcomeBanner%3Dtrue&amp;upsellOrderOrigin=premium_nav_upsell_text" class="link-without-visited-state nav-item__spotlight-upsell premium-upsell-link--long ember-view">...</a>

Original Answer Update your chrome driver (currently 2.29) from here to latest version 2.41 - https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

Your current driver doesn't supports the Chrome version ie ver 68
