Can't figure out why i get this error

[dmike23]

I get the following error when i run the main.py after setting up my config file:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities'

{ "email" : "mmhogsett@gmail.com", "password" : "xxx", "keywords" : "Python", "location" : "Worldwide", "driver_path" : "C:/Users/micha/PycharmProjects/EasyApply-Linkedin/driver/chromedriver-win64/chromedriver.exe" }

ive tried using this instead:

{ "email" : "mmhogsett@gmail.com", "password" : "xxx", "keywords" : "Python", "location" : "Worldwide", "driver_path" : "driver/chromedriver-win64/chromedriver.exe" }

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue

[JulienGuinot]

yes same issue here

Here’s how you should initialize your Chrome WebDriver with the Service object and options:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options

class EasyApplyLinkedin:
def init(self, data):
"""Parameter initialization"""
self.email = data['email']
self.password = data['password']
self.keywords = data['keywords']
self.location = data['location']

    # Initialize Chrome options and driver path
    options = Options()
    service = Service(executable_path=data['driver_path'])

    # Initialize WebDriver with Service and Options
    self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

# Add the rest of your methods (login_linkedin, job_search, etc.)...............

Your config file looks fine. Just make sure the driver_path points to the correct file:
"driver_path": "C:/Users/micha/PycharmProjects/EasyApply-Linkedin/driver/chromedriver-win64/chromedriver.exe"

After applying the changes, try running your script again, and the error should be resolved. Let me know if you run into any further issues!
