Unable to find the chromedriver executable

[Reshma Shah]

I am facing an issue with chromeDriver, even after downloading chrome driver and placing its path in PATH variable i am getting the below error.

Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError:

       Unable to find the chromedriver executable. Please download the server from http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/downloads/list and place it somewhere on your PATH.

Please Help

Where did you put the chromedriver? What is the value of your PATH environment variable?

This is what I get:

Mac (should be similar for Linux):

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/X11/bin

Windows:

>path
PATH=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem

My PATH variable contains,

C:\Ruby193\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\RSA SecurID Token Common;C:\Windows\system

32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.

Once more

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/ChromeDriver

Download and copy mentioned file for example in:

C:\Ruby193\bin

[Pavak Shah]

It is working fine if I run my test case from the IDE but when I try to run the same file from Jenkins local, I am getting the same error. Is there any way I can solve this.

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Why the duplication?

Hi,

I am using chromedriver version 2.9 

Selenium webdriver = 2.38.0

Capybara version = 2.1.0

Windows 7 64 bit 

Java : 1.7.0_51

and have added the following code in my env.rb file

Capybara.register_driver :selenium do |app|

  Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :chrome)

end

Also added the chromedriver in C:\Ruby193\bin\chromedriver.exe and have set the PATH variable as well. Still I am unable to launch the chrome browser and getting the following error 

unknown error: chrome failed to start

This is all I know about driving Chrome on Windows:

https://github.com/watir/watirbook/blob/master/installation/windows.md#chrome

Let me know if you can not drive Chrome after following the instructions there.

There is a mapping between chromedriver and chrome browser. For example, Chromedriver 2.9 can only handle chrome browser versions v31-34. So if your jenkins box has an older chrome browser, it wouldn't work.

Either upgrade your browser or downgrade the chromedriver.

see here for the mapping http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.10/notes.txt
