Python external script using Selenium Webdriver will not run from proxy

[troffasky]

Python script using Selenium Webdriver which logs in to a device, fetches a metric and outputs it to stdout.
Configured this as an External Script.
The script runs fine as the Zabbix user from an SSH session, but does not work when executed as the same user by the Zabbix proxy service. The error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/script.py", line 42, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=chrome_options)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 92, in __init__
self.service.start()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 98, in start
self.assert_process_still_running()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 109, in assert_process_still_running
raise WebDriverException(
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /usr/bin/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 1

I had this working some time ago but I think it stopped after a reboot of the Zabbix proxy server.

The answer is....Snap is not your friend.
Replaced snap with Debian packages per this:

Worked straight away.

I definitely did have it working without this workaround as I have several months worth of item history until the proxy rebooted. But who knows what went wrong here.

I have tested this as a cron job as the Zabbix user and it works fine. Weird.
