1. Chromedriver 64 Bit

Selenium is great for automated testing of web-apps and I’ve been using the Selenium IDE Firefox extension for a few months now.

• Chromedriver path.
• Get code examples like 'chromedriver = webdriver.Chrome(“D:driverchromedriver.exe”)' instantly right from your google search results with the Grepper Chrome Extension.

For completeness of automated testing for web apps you need to do this in a number of different browsers which Selenium IDE doesn’t do. So you’ll need to download and install Selenium on your Mac.

Download Chromedriver to your Mac

Head over to the Chromedriver Project page and download the latest package.

You then need to unzip the package and then copy the file to /usr/bin

This is a hidden system folder so the easy way to get to this file is

1. Open another finder window
2. From the Go menu select Go To Folder
3. Type /usr/bin and press enter

Now drag n drop the Chromedriver file from your Download folder to this directory. You’ll be prompted for you Admin password.

Finally, I suggest you restart your computer as the next step didn’t work when I tried it.

To exit Python from your open Terminal, press ctrl+z

I am using selenium with python and have downloaded the chromedriver for my windows computer from this site: http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.15/

After downloading the zip file, I unpacked the zip file to my downloads folder. Then I put the path to the executable binary (C:UsersmichaelDownloadschromedriver_win32) into the Environment Variable 'Path'.

However, when I run the following code:

... I keep getting the following error message:

Chromedriver 64 Bit

But - as explained above - the executable is(!) in the path ... what is going on here?
