Binary Location Must be a string error

[MajesticMinhaz]

This is my code

    # Set up the driver instance with options (including cookies)
    options = uc.ChromeOptions()
    # options.add_argument('--headless')
    options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features")
    options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")

    driver = uc.Chrome(options=options, driver_executable_path='./chromedriver')

and this is the error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi,
your binary location could be found with:

which chromedriver

add to your code:

    binary_location = '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'
    options.binary_location = binary_location

it should work
