Getting chromedriver to work with Google Chrome and splinter framework

[Alex Reynolds]

I am having difficulty getting splinter to instantiate a Browser object 
using Google Chrome and chromedriver. 

Python throws the following exception when I try to instantiate a new 
Browser:

 >>> from splinter import Browser
 >>> browser = Browser('chrome')
 ...
 selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: u'Unable to either 
launch or connect to Chrome. Please check that ChromeDriver is up-to-date. 
Using Chrome binary at: /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome'

To install Google Chrome and Chromedriver, from:

http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list

I retrieved the following file:

chromedriver_linux64_26.0.1383.0.zip

And from:

https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/?platform=linux

I retrieved:

google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

I installed google-chrome ("rpm -i google-chrome....rpm"), which is 
installed to /opt/google/chrome. 

I unpacked chromedriver to /usr/local/bin

Is there some detail I missed or should I match a specific version of 
Chromedriver to Google Chrome, in order to get splinter to work?

Regards,
Alex

I should have probably included the version of Selenium:

$ pip-python freeze | grep selenium

selenium==2.33.0

Thank you for any advice.

Alex

I am also facing similar problem. Did you find any workaround for this problem?

Check if you can execute chromedriver from the terminal, please.
