No Driver meta

[Mehss]

I am trying to run scrapy-selenium in an wsl pipenv environment

i have added the

SELENIUM_DRIVER_NAME = 'chrome'
SELENIUM_DRIVER_EXECUTABLE_PATH = '/usr/bin/chromedriver'
SELENIUM_DRIVER_ARGUMENTS=['--headless']

and

DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
    'scrapy_selenium.SeleniumMiddleware': 800
}

and SeleniumRequest works just fine, but response.request has no driver meta.
running which chromedriver in terminal returns '/usr/bin/chromedriver'

i have tried changing the SELENIUM_DRIVER_EXECUTABLE_PATH to which(chromedriver) and installing chromedriver into my local and direct it there, and i have tried using command_executor and setting browser_executable_path but the same issue persists.

not setting up the driver name, driver path, etc does not create a new error
what am i doing wrong?
