"Google doesn't compile chromedriver versions for Linux ARM. Sorry!"

[mangoheini]

Hi @f1shl ,
thank you very much for sharing this project with us!
I followed your guide but unfortunately I wasn't able to run the script on my Pi Zero W under Raspberry Pi OS Lite 32-bit (bookworm).
Every time I get that output:

pi@strawberry:~/netflix-household-update $ /home/pi/netflix-household-update/.venv/bin/python netflix_household_update.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/netflix-household-update/netflix_household_update.py", line 9, in <module> from chromedriver_py import binary_path File "/home/pi/netflix-household-update/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/chromedriver_py/__init__.py", line 49, in <module> binary_path = _get_filename() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home/pi/netflix-household-update/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/chromedriver_py/__init__.py", line 32, in _get_filename raise Exception("Google doesn't compile chromedriver versions for Linux ARM. Sorry!")

So I installed chromium-chromedriver via apt and switched UseChromedriverPy to False but same result.
I'm no programmer at all but the "line 9" part in the last call lets me think some faulty or empty chromedriver_py is still involved.

Searching the web I found several people complaining on selenium not working on arm boards but no real solution to that.
Is there any chance to get this still running on a pi?

Thanks for taking your time! :)

last idea was downloading the recent armv7 chromedriver binary from here, unpacking it and changing ExecutablePath accordingly but still the same error message. :(

@mangoheini the reason why it failed was because an exception was thrown while loading the chromedriver_py module, so the config.ini changes were not doing anything. I've made a fix in #5 which should work for you

I just merged the bugfix. It should hopefully work now.
