'aws lambda: How to fix 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH"
So I am trying to use firefox in aws lambda runtime Python3.6 I have added my dependencies using layers in this order: selenium3.14, geckodriver25 and firefox 69 binary, to create my webdriver instance I am using this code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options
path = '/tmp/'
def start_browser(url, headless=True):
fp = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
options = Options()
if headless==True:
options.headless = True
fp.set_preference("browser.preferences.instantApply",True)
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "text/xls, application/vnd.ms-excel")
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force",False)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.dir", path)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
fp.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
browser = webdriver.Firefox(
options=options,
executable_path="/opt/geckodriver",
log_path="/tmp/geckodriver.log",
firefox_profile=fp,
firefox_binary="/opt/firefox/firefox"
)
browser.get(url)
return browser
My function executes but I get this response when testing from aws console
{
"message": "Your function executed unsuccessfully!",
"event": "Message: 'geckodriver' executable needs to be in PATH. \n"
}

I needed to change my path to lambda dependecies from "/opt/my_dependency"
to "/opt/python/my_dependency"
