Failed to try sample codes on Windows saying OSError

[Atmos16]

When I tried sample codes on Windows 11, it failed with OSError.
All commands are executed under venv environment, python 3.9.10.
How can I do with this?

Commands for installiing library

pip install "crawl4ai[all] @ git+https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai.git"

Executed Codes

Codes are almost same as ones on Quick Start

On PowerShell via VSCode,

from crawl4ai import WebCrawler
import os

os.environ["REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE"] = "C:\\pathtocertificate"
os.environ["SSL_CERT_FILE"] = "C:\\pathtocertificate"

def create_crawler():
    crawler = WebCrawler(verbose=False)
    crawler.warmup()
    return crawler

crawler = create_crawler()

result = crawler.run(url="https://www.nbcnews.com/business", screenshot=True)
with open("screenshot.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(base64.b64decode(result.screenshot))
print("Screenshot saved to 'screenshot.png'!")

Error message occurred during Executing codes

@unclecode could be same as #62 🤔. I got similar error on linux, related to chrome driver.

@Atmos16 Can you install the latest version 4.0.2 of webdriver_manager with pip install --force-reinstall -v "webdriver_manager==4.0.2" and see if that solves this error.

[Atmos16]

@aravindkarnam Thanks for your advise! I updated the library with pip install --force-reinstall -v "webdriver_manager==4.0.2" . However, the tip didn't work for me.

I found the issue @aravindkarnam mensioned in #62 has the environment with Selenium==4.22.0. I also tried that version, but it didn't change my situation, too.

@aravindkarnam You are right, and @Atmos16 I will fix the docker file in 0.2.76, which will be available today or tomorrow

@aravindkarnam You are right, and @Atmos16 I will fix the docker file in 0.2.76, which will be available today or tomorrow

I'm waiting for 0.2.76 to deploy on prod and stress tests the system. Do you have an estimation when it would be pushed?

[unclecode]

@FractalMind You can pull it from branch "main-75", above that there r a few more changes and all will be ready by tomorrow or dat after tomorrow.

This issue has been resolved in v0.2.77 and later, so I will close it. Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties.
