Error while "Starting webdriver...": TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

[darryllee]

Description

I'm running Python 3.8.10 on Ubuntu 20.04 on an x86_64 box.

When installing requirements, I got these errors:

ERROR: selenium 4.8.0 has requirement certifi>=2021.10.8, but you'll have certifi 2019.11.28 which is incompatible.
ERROR: selenium 4.8.0 has requirement urllib3[socks]~=1.26, but you'll have urllib3 1.25.8 which is incompatible.

I successfully installed newer versions of these:

pip3 install urllib3==1.26
pip3 install certifi==2021.10.8

But when I run, I get a TypeError when it tries to start the webdriver:

Hi. Can you try installing urllib3==1.26.15 and certifi==2022.12.7? With those versions, I am able to successfully log in to my account.

And just to make sure, do you have Chromium-based browser installed (Google Chrome, Chromium, Brave, etc.)?

[darryllee]

Alas, same errors. Let me try logging in instead of a checkin... Unfortunately same error. Thanks for looking into this and for the tool!

Where is the location of you Chrome and Chromedriver executables? It appears that it isn’t finding it.

[ryee-dev]

Reinstalling the latest version of Chrome fixed it for me.

[darryllee]

I'm an idiot. Chromium wasn't installed. Sorry for the noise.
