Chromedriver error

[aylee17]

I'm getting a Chromedriver error even though I correctly downloaded and put it into the assets folder.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 72, in start

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

the documentation isn't up to date, change line 14 in crawl_profile.py to

Settings.chromedriver_location = 'assets/chromedriver'

or install chromedriver in /usr/bin/chromedriver

Thanks! I'm still getting an error, although it appears to be a different one now.

It doesn't seem to find any profile info, make sure the profile exists and isn't private or anything (an easy way to test it is to open it in Chrome)

[aylee17]

I realized I'm getting this error message for the profiles that I tried before fixing the chromedriver error. But any new profiles I try after fixing chromedriver error, it works. Is it saving the history somewhere that is preventing me from running those profiles?
