Hi Rauf, Start with the simple things (Though this may just be an issue with when you pasted in the forum, I don’t know so just in case) Make sure you’ve escaped the backslash in your windows paths: ```python Create Webdriver Chrome service=C:\Users\HP Pavilion\Documents\chrome\chromedriver ``` Should be: ```python Create Webdriver Chrome service=C:\\Users\\HP Pavilion\\Documents\\chrome\\chromedriver ``` Beyond that, the next step would be open the log.html file generated by this failed test and see whether the error is coming from `Create Webdriver` or `Go To`, knowing this will help to figure out the problem, and maybe it will have some extra detail. Dave. ---

Hi Dave, Many thanks for your response, Can you please see attached screenshot from report. Actually, I am new with python and hardly read result. ![Capture](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotframework1/original/2X/3/3a6c7b3c3f2105daf39a0a106d013482ec783fd6.png) ---

Hi Rauf, I’m not that knowledgeable on SeleniumLibrary, and with my limited usage of SeleniumLibrary I never used the `Create Webdriver` keyword myself only the `Open Browser` keyword, so I may not be the best person to help but I’ll try. The error is coming from `Create Webdriver` which is where I suspected it might be so that’s a good start. First question is your chromedriver.exe file is it at - C:\Users\HP Pavilion\Documents\chrome\chromedriver.exe - C:\Users\HP Pavilion\Documents\chrome\chromedriver\chromedriver.exe.exe - or somewhere else? I’d try replacing the `service=` path with the full path to the exe file including the filename and .exe extension Next where did you get the syntax of `service=`? I don’t see it in the documentation or any online examples, the examples I found use `executable_path=`, so Maybe you should try something like this: ```python Create Webdriver Chrome executable_path="C:\\Users\\HP Pavilion\\Documents\\chrome\\chromedriver.exe" ``` Hopefully that helps, Dave. ---

Hi Rauf, You can use as below without any attribute ``` `Create Webdriver Chrome C:\Users\winuser\Downloads\Chromedriver.exe` ```
