chromedriver doesn't have permission to run

[guitarhero23]

If I try and run it as you have laid out I get the following error.
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable may have wrong permissions. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

If I change
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/opt/chromedriver',chrome_options=options)
to
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/opt/chromedriver.exe',chrome_options=options) I get a new error

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH. Please see https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/home

Are you trying to run locally or that error is in AWS?

[guitarhero23]

In aws

.exe is for windows, don't use that. the Lambda runs on linux.
Are you sure that the lambda layer is deployed and contains the chromedriver file? can you check in the s3 bucket.

I didn't end up uploading it via an S3 bucket, uploaded it via the interface in Lambda layer. The folder structure looks like this

Root:
python
--lib
----python3.6
------site-packages
--------contents of pip install selenium
chromedriver
headless-chromium

@guitarhero23 this happened to me when deploying from Windows OS.
I reran the procedure from an Ubuntu 18 system and it worked.
I believe it has to do with Windows being unable to handle file permission mode bits.

Hi @guitarhero23,
I have associated the "AmazonS3FullAccess" policy with the IAM role related to Lambda, but I am still unsuccessful...
