DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object

by

This error message…

DeprecationWarning: executable_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object

…implies that the key executable_path will be deprecated in the upcoming releases.

This change is inline with the Selenium 4.0 Beta 1 changelog which mentions:

Deprecate all but Options and Service arguments in driver instantiation. (#9125,#9128)

Solution

Once the key executable_path is deprecated you have to use an instance of the Service() class as follows:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

s = Service('C:/Users/.../chromedriver.exe')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)

TL; DR
