ChromeDriver error finding path

Question

Trying to use a code on a Mac, I have downloaded the most recent version of ChromeDriver, however I am still getting this error.

runfile('/Applications/scraping imdb.py', wdir='/Applications')

Traceback (most recent call last):

Answer 1

Here the error clearly mentions that the chromedriver.exe file should be placed in the path and again this code which you are working has some errors kindly recheck it and also kindly keep the .exe file in the location and then copy and paste the location in the code that will work for you.
