how to fix this TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Question

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/PYTHON projects/chrome automation/main.py", line 3, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.chrome()
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

I installed selenium and webdriver but this keeps happening. whats the problem?

Answer 1

The way to read this error is webdriver module does not have an object called "chrome()". It does have one called "Chrome()", so try this?

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

Also a good IDE will help you spot such issues quicker. Plenty of free ones out there.

Answer 2

Remember that Python is case sensitive.

use:

driver = webdriver.Chrome('/path/to/chromedriver')
