messenger = WhatsApp() fails

[ziaya]

---------------My following code fails--------------

messenger = WhatsApp()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\alright_init_.py", line 39, in init
browser = webdriver.Chrome(
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: WebDriver.init() got multiple values for argument 'options'

---

I have
selenium 4.18.1

I did a search and found the following:
This is due to changes in selenium 4.10.0: SeleniumHQ/selenium@9f5801c

Note that the first argument is no longer executable_path, but options. (That's why it complains that you're passing it in twice.)
If you want to pass in an executable_path, you'll have to use the service arg now.

kindly update your code on alright as soon as possible as I am interested in using this code.
Thanking you in advance.

if you can into the main source code and go to the Whatapp class, change the if not browser to the below. (I know not best practices with the imports but it was simple lol)

class WhatsApp(object):
    def __init__(self, browser=None, time_out=600):
        # CJM - 20220419: Added time_out=600 to allow the call with less than 600 sec timeout
        # web.open(f"https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone={phone_no}&text={quote(message)}")

        self.BASE_URL = "https://web.whatsapp.com/"
        self.suffix_link = "https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone={mobile}&text&type=phone_number&app_absent=1"

        if not browser:
            from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
            service = Service(ChromeDriverManager().install())
            chrome_options = self.chrome_options
            browser = webdriver.Chrome(
                service=service,
                options=chrome_options
            )

            handles = browser.window_handles
            for _, handle in enumerate(handles):
                if handle != browser.current_window_handle:
                    browser.switch_to.window(handle)
                    browser.close()

        self.browser = browser
        # CJM - 20220419: Added time_out=600 to allow the call with less than 600 sec timeout
        self.wait = WebDriverWait(self.browser, time_out)
        self.cli()
        self.login()
        self.mobile = ""
