How to setup chromedriver in jenkins for selenium-python script?

Question

I am using the following code to run my script in local machine

from seleniumwire import webdriver
import pytest
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
import allure

class Test_main():

    @pytest.fixture()
    def test_setup(self):
        # instantiate browser
        chrome_options = Options()
        chrome_options.add_argument('--start-maximized')
        chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"D:/Python/Sel_python/drivers/chromedriverv86/chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=chrome_options)

        # terminate script
        yield
        self.driver.close()
        self.driver.quit()
        print("Test completed")

##Remaining functions/test cases followed. Not adding the entire script here

I pushed this code onto git and then tried to run the same in jenkins using following build commands:

cd "D:\Python\Sel_python\Pytest"
pip install -r requirements.txt
pytest Test_Tracking_code_scripts.py -s -v

But then jenkins threw an error that chromedriver cannot be located. My questions are:

1. Do I need to upload chromedriver.exe as well into my git repository
   
2. Does jenkins have its own chrome browser? If yes how do I use it and what path has to be specified?
   

I am new to jenkins, please help me out here

Answer 1

1. Check chrome version in Jenkins system Download chrome driver based on Jenkins system from here
2. Copy the chrome driver to "C:/drivers/" in Jenkins server (As C driver is common to all windows system) update code as below

self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"D:/Python/Sel_python/drivers/chromedriverv86/chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=chrome_options)

as

self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"C:/drivers/chromedriver.exe", chrome_options=chrome_options)

Let me know if you face any issues with this.

NOTE :

1. In local system please move driver to "C:/driver" so that both remote and local system path is same.
2. If chrome version is updated in local or remote, please update chrome driver version ie chromedriver.exe

Answer 2

I found the solution. My code was missing the chrome binary path. Adding the same as an Options() argument resolved the error.
Sharing the updated patch of code:

from seleniumwire import webdriver
import pytest
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import time
import allure

class Test_main():

    @pytest.fixture()
    def test_setup(self):
        # initiating browser
        chrome_options = Options()
        chrome_options.binary_location=r"C:\Users\libin.thomas\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
        chrome_options.add_argument('--start-maximized')
        chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')

        self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"D:/Python/Sel_python/drivers/chromedriver v86/chromedriver.exe",options=chrome_options)
       
        # terminate script
        yield
        self.driver.close()
        self.driver.quit()
        print("Test completed")

#test cases followed below
