Try commenting out options.add_argument("--profile-directory=" +profileDir) on line 23 in utils.py. I had a similar error that I fixed by commenting out line 22, but line 23 seems more relevant for your case.

Thank you so much for your suggestion, I have tried that but still same error raised in selenium

I'm getting the same issue and the same response unfortunately 😭 has anyone figured this one out?

rexsphere commented

I used default options and it worked

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

commented whole option arguments

Wilson-D-Lee commented

Where do I make the update? what line and page?

nitishdas1517 commented

in utils.py, now I am able to login and apply.

        options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
        # initialPath = config.chromeProfilePath[0:config.chromeProfilePath.rfind("/")]
        # profileDir = config.chromeProfilePath[config.chromeProfilePath.rfind("/")+1:]
        # options.add_argument('--user-data-dir=' +initialPath)
        options.add_argument("--profile-directory=Default")
        options.add_argument("--incognito")```

def chromeBrowserOptions():

    options.add_argument("--profile-directory=Default")
    options.add_argument("--incognito")
    return options
