Selenium+chromedriver and python - how to make it work?

Build Environment Running Tests

I’m trying to integrate my test_page.py selenium script with circleCI, but after 30 tries it still doesn’t work for me. I’m using chromedriver and python btw. Below is my ACTUAL config.yml, cuz I changed it 10 times - so it uses orb in this case. Without orb it doesn’t work, too.

version: 2.1
orbs:
  browser-tools: circleci/browser-tools@1.4.0
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.8
      - image: selenium/standalone-chrome:3.11.0
      - image: cimg/node:19.3.0-browsers
    steps:
      - browser-tools/install-chrome
      - browser-tools/install-chromedriver
      - checkout
      - run:
          command: |
            google-chrome --version
            chromedriver --version
      - run:
          name: Upgrade pip
          command: |
            pip install --upgrade pip
      - run:
          name: Install Dependencies
          command: |
            pip install -r requirements.txt
      - run:
          name: Run Selenium Tests
          command: |
            python -m pytest test_page.py

It gives me error, like below:

Exited with code exit status 2

And below is how start of my original test_page.py file looks like:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
import time
import pyautogui
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
s=Service('C:\Program Files\chromedriver.exe')
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=s)

Make note, that in my circleci file it looks different - here is no more ‘s=Service’ and here’s browser = webdriver.Chrome() INSTEAD of browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=s).

It doesn’t work for me with or without orb, with s=service or not, or just with different path in s=service, too - nothing worked.

EDIT
here’s different config.yml I tried:

version: 2.1
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.8
      - image: selenium/standalone-chrome:3.11.0
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: Upgrade pip
          command: |
            pip install --upgrade pip
      - run:
          name: Install Dependencies
          command: |
            pip install -r requirements.txt
      - run:
          name: Run Selenium Tests
          command: |
            python -m pytest test_page.py

And below is error:
