Driver patching gets stuck in Docker container

[PhilK-7]

I'm executing a Python script inside a Docker container. So far, everything worked for me locally.

The call uc.Chrome() by default triggers the patcher that downloads the executable to a local path.

Now, in the container, I instead get the following stack trace:

2022-11-08 15:14:44,487 [INFO] patching driver executable /home/airflow/.local/share/undetected_chromedriver/chromedriver
Process Process-1:

    and os.path.dirname(executable)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/posixpath.py", line 152, in dirname
    p = os.fspath(p)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType

The program gets stuck at this point.

How docker

[axiangcoding]

Same issue. how we install chromedriver locally?

[Arsh1219]

same issue, any solution?

[axiangcoding]

I found a way that works for me
Dockerfile

FROM python:3.11-alpine
WORKDIR /app
RUN apk update && apk upgrade
RUN apk add chromium chromium-chromedriver

COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

COPY main.py ./
ENTRYPOINT ["python", "-u", "main.py"]

inside main.py

options = uc.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--disable-gpu")
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
driver = uc.Chrome(version_main=111, options=options, headless=True,
                   driver_executable_path="/usr/bin/chromedriver")
