Creating a 'bot' to essentially login to a website and click a few buttons (approx. 3 buttons if it matters)

Question

Okay before you continue reading please note that I am not proficient in programming and am just getting by using what I find on the internet that's applicable. I'm trying to get code a bot to login to the website of my gym everyday at the same time and book me a spot on the hour when they open (because the spots for working out get taken very fast).

I'm stuck trying to get my computer to recognize that I have the chromedriver.exe and I thought I put the path location in correctly but maybe not. I'm not sure if I'm even onto something or not but this is what I've got so far: it looks like I can't upload more images for some reason but I'm getting errors like
"'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH."

Before this I directly extracted the path location from my file chromedriver.exe (which I followed the install for for Mac) and put it in the paths section of terminal and saved.

I'm not sure this is even the problem but if anyone has a solution or even advice I'd appreciate it.

Answer 1

I re-reviewed your error. The error of importance is the one that says No such file or directory /path/to/chromedriver.exe. I'm guessing in your code you have a reference to chromedriver.exe at that path that doesn't exist. Replace that with the real path to your chromedriver.

Leaving this for historical record:

The error is indicating that the chromdriver.exe is not in your path

if you run echo $PATH in your terminal, you will see list of directories that your machine will search for binary/executables in. You need to add chromedriver.exe into one of those directories.

Edit: If moving chromedriver.exe into one of those already existing directories is not an option, you can also add the directory it is in to your PATH. This details several options for mac on how do to so. The simplest way is to add

export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir/location1 to your ~/.bash_profile
