Attempting to create a spambot for Google Forms to generate random answers for a school assignment proved challenging. After struggling to write the code from scratch, I stumbled upon a pre-written script (link). However, despite spending hours installing Selenium and troubleshooting, I encountered a baffling error message:
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
I've searched for a solution but haven't found one yet after dedicating nine long hours to this project. I primarily use PyCharm for coding. Below is an excerpt of the code causing the issue:
import time
import random
from selenium import webdriver
chromedriver = "C:\Users\LORD\Desktop\max spam junk\chromedriver")
driver = webdriver.chrome(chromedriver)
Although the code should open a Google page, input the form link, and fill it with random responses, it fails due to unicode-related problems as mentioned above. Here's the specific error message:
C:\python\python.exe "C:/mblock python junk/gg.py" File "C:/mblock python junk/gg.py", line 5 chromedriver.encode("C:\Users\LORD\Desktop\max spam junk\chromedriver") ^ SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
