Struggling with Semenium + chromedriver on Python on Raspberry Pi Zero W

[Eric Corndorf]

Hello community,

I'm about 13hrs into trying to solve this puzzle.  I'm trying to run a Python script that evokes Selenium for simple scraping.  The script works on Windows, but I seem to be struggling with the chromedriver on the Pi.

System

- Raspberry Pi Zero W

- Raspbian GNU/Linus 11 (bullseye)

- Selenium 4.11.2

Install (and clean)

pip uninstall selenium
sudo apt purge --remove chromium-browser chromium chromium-chromedriver -y
sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt autoclean -y

sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver --yes
sudo apt-get install xvfb --yes
pip install PyVirtualDisplay xvfbwrapper selenium

Code

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display

display = Display(visible=0, size=(1600, 1200))
display.start()

service = Service(executable_path='/usr/bin/chromedriver')
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--headless=new")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
driver.get("https://www.google.com")
driver.close()

Command line

python my_script.pl

Error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/samba_dir/tester.txt", line 18, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 45, in __init__
    super().__init__(
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/chromium/webdriver.py", line 53, in __init__
    self.service.start()
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 109, in start
    self.assert_process_still_running()
  File "/home/pi/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 122, in assert_process_still_running
    raise WebDriverException(f"Service {self._path} unexpectedly exited. Status code was: {return_code}")
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /usr/bin/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: -4

I confirmed that the chromedriver is indeed located at /usr/bin/chromedriver.  I also changed the permissions on chromedriver to 755 (chmod 755 /usr/bin/chromedriver).

When I attempt to execute chromedriver from the commandline by entering ./chromedriver I recieve "Illegal instruction"

I would really appreciate an help anyone can offer.

My thanks.
