Issues with installing and running ChromeDriver #17

Closed jozilla closed 3 years ago

jozilla commented 3 years ago

I installed ChromeDriver on OS X Catalina using brew cask install chromedriver and then proceeded to install etudier using pip pip3 install etudier. However, once I try to run etudier, I run into the following problem. It seems selenium cannot find the Chrome binary? selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary

I was able to fix it by using the following instructions: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50428707. It might be worth updating the README.md to reflect this new process of using brew cask install chromedriver (instead of brew install chromedriver) and the need to run brew cask install google-chrome too.
