Chrome Driver Appwrite Function

I am trying to use selenium in a cloud function but i am unable to get it working because of the chrome driver installation..

TL;DR

The user is attempting to use selenium in a cloud function but is having trouble installing the chrome driver. They tried using Webdriver Manager but it didn't work. They later decided to use requests and user agents instead. It's unclear if they need to install more dependencies. They also mention using a headless option. They ask if they should use the 'userlib/chromedriver' path if they create a tar.gz of the folder.

if i create a tar.gz of this folder then should i use userlib/chromedriver path

btw its a headless option type

but ig i will also need to install more dependencies?

eitherway i decided to not use selenium or web driver related stuff since it got solved with requests + user agents

Looks like you’re using the Windows chromedriver… that’s not going to work in a cloud function

yes true

locally i am testing on windows

i tried various approaches like using this Webdriver Manager for installing chrome driver while running the script

but ig on a linux vps i will also have to perform other dependency installations so i just ditched it at the end
