Windows Python Selenium chrome binary issue? No chrome binary at C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

So I'm fairly new to coding and I am supposed to be parsing Yelp reviews so I can analyze the data using Pandas. I have been trying to use selenium/beautifulsoup to automate the whole process, but I can't get past the chrome binary location errors in each version of the code I make. I feel like I've tried everything, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

!pip install selenium
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pandas as pd
import os
# Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
chromedriver_path = "C:\\Users\\5mxz2\\Downloads\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver"
# Set the path to the Chrome binary
chrome_binary_path = "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"  # Update this with the correct path to your Chrome binary
# Set the URL of the Yelp page you want to scrape
url = "https://www.yelp.com/biz/gelati-celesti-virginia-beach-2"
# Set the options for Chrome
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")  # Run Chrome in headless mode, comment this line if you want to see the browser window
chrome_options.binary_location = chrome_binary_path
# Create the ChromeDriver service
service = Service(chromedriver_path)
# Create the ChromeDriver instance
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=chrome_options)
# Load the Yelp page
driver.get(url)
# Extract the page source and pass it to BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, "html.parser")
# Find all review elements on the page
reviews = soup.find_all("div", class_="review")
# Create empty lists to store the extracted data
review_texts = []
ratings = []
dates = []
# Iterate over each review element
for review in reviews:
# Extract the review text
review_text = review.find("p", class_="comment").get_text()
review_texts.append(review_text.strip())
# Extract the rating
rating = review.find("div", class_="rating").get("aria-label")
ratings.append(rating)
# Extract the date
date = review.find("span", class_="rating-qualifier").get_text()
dates.append(date.strip())
# Create a DataFrame from the extracted data
data = {
"Review Text": review_texts,
"Rating": ratings,
"Date": dates
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
# Print the DataFrame
print(df)
# Get the current working directory
path = os.getcwd()
# Save the DataFrame as a CSV file
csv_path = os.path.join(path, "yelp_reviews.csv")
df.to_csv(csv_path, index=False)
# Close the ChromeDriver instance
driver.quit()

That's what I have so far but I keep getting this error message

# 答案1
**得分**: 1
以下是翻译好的内容：
1. 检查以下事项：
1. 检查指定的文件是否存在。Python：
```python
import os
print(os.path.exists(chrome_binary_path)) # 检查路径是否存在。
# 如果文件存在，则打印 'True'，否则打印 'False'

或者一行代码：

print(__import__("os").path.exists(chrome_binary_path))

2. 检查是否具有打开该文件的权限。
   按下[Win] + [R]，然后粘贴文件路径。
   如果您没有读取文件的权限，将会出现一个包含"Permission denied"（权限被拒绝）的错误消息框。

3. 检查硬盘是否已损坏。

import os
print(os.path.exists(chrome_binary_path)) # checks if the path exists.
# prints 'True' if the file exists, else it prints 'False'

print(__import__("os").path.exists(chrome_binary_path))

这个错误消息...

WebDriverException: 信息：未知错误：在C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe找不到Chrome二进制文件

...暗示在通过 chrome_binary_path 指定的位置找不到 Chrome 二进制文件：

chrome_binary_path = "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" # 请将此路径更新为您的 Chrome 二进制文件的正确路径

可能是 [tag:google-chrome] 安装在自定义位置。

解决方案

您需要通过属性 binary_location 传递 Chrome 二进制文件的确切位置，如下所示：

chrome_options.binary_location = "C:\path\to\chrome.exe";

参考

您可以在以下链接中找到一些相关的详细讨论：

• 使用Selenium在Python中针对较旧版本的Google Chrome解决WebDriverException：未知错误：无法找到Chrome二进制文件错误
• 在使用Selenium时是否需要安装Chrome，还是只需要chromedriver？

WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: no chrome binary at C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

chrome_binary_path = "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"  # Update this with the correct path to your Chrome binary

chrome_options.binary_location = "C:\\path\\to\\chrome.exe"
