Thanks Pia, have you tried running binman::list_versions('chromedriver')
This should show different versions, can you try a few different options and see if that helps, please?
I had three options, two 87.x which gave the same result as above, and 88.x which returned the below. Just checked and I'm running the latest version of chrome I can.

Does this help in any way? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60468006/r-rselenium-rsdriver-chrome-browser-error-on-mac suggests that you need to install Java SE would you mind giving that a whirl and letting me know if anything changes? Thanks!
Okay, so I just installed on a different machine (still windows) and encountered a similar problem. removing the current java installation and reinstalling seemed to solve things for me... Also I recomended reinstall EAlidaR as I have made a few changes that should help. Mainly, I have specified the GIthub version of Rselenium which has more up to date drivers than on CRAN. this should help. Let me know how you get on. I'll add a note in the Readme about the JAVA issues.
Also, Pia would you mind doing me a massive favour and telling me what this prints on your system, please?
Sys.info()['sysname']
system('/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --version', intern=TRUE) %>% gsub("[^0-9.-]", "", .)
I'd like to add support for MacOS/OSX to the find_chrome_v function to automate the process a bit better but I have no way of testing what these functions return...
Right... no luck... I've updated Java and installed Java SE and still get the same result... boo...
And so far it prints "Unexpected symbol in Sys.info()['sysname'] system" ...
Sorry, have edited the above code. I formatted it wrong. It should be two separate lines. Hmmm annoying about Java... Let me have a search around, I'll see what I can dig up...
Ah, that makes sense. I could get the first bit to run, but stupidly didn't try the second independently...
Sys.info()['sysname'] sysname "Darwin" system('/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --version', intern=TRUE) %>% gsub("[^0-9.-]", "", .) sh: /Applications/Google: No such file or directory Error in system("/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome --version", : error in running command
Oh, just looking at the apps folder, it's just straight up 'Google Chrome' rather than a google/chrome.app if that helps?
Having a bit of a look through this and I think it's the same issue where my chrome is the latest available version 87.x but the latest driver version is 88.x, so if I specify a driver that works with my version of chrome as per the answer, the Selenium set up doesn't like it. As far as I can tell, none of the other answers will work, but I'll keep digging/have a look at your code...
Right, this is perhaps a long shot... I assume you're working in Rstudio? Can you try again but running Rstudio as admin? https://github.com/ropensci/RSelenium/issues/121
Okay so MacOS issues seem to be occurring lots at the moment relating to:
https://github.com/ropensci/binman/issues/7 and https://github.com/ropensci/wdman/issues/25
I'll keep an eye on these issues and see where things get to. We could consider adding support for other browsers (Firefox) but at the moment, I'm still having trouble with sending keys using the gecko driver / firefox. Ideally I want to keep things as simple as possible and support a single browser that just works across all platforms. If anyone has a work around for this, I'm all ears!
Error reported by @piabenaud is: Selenium message:Timed out waiting for driver server to start.

Error in checkError(res) : Undefined error in httr call. httr output: length(url) == 1 is not TRUE
None of the workarounds seem to solve the issue in this instance...
So this is not yet resolved seems like the incorrect drivers are being downloaded. For now it is possible to run on MacOS by installing the ubunutu-dev branch with:
devtools::install_github('h-a-graham/EAlidaR', ref='ubuntu_dev)
try running a function or run wdman:::chrome_check(verbose=TRUE)
This will fail.
Then download the correct driver from: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads
unzip the driver folder into: /Library/Application Support/binman_chromedriver/mac64/90.0.4430.24 Or whatever the correct driver number is.
Finally whenever running the download functions in EAlidaR - make sure to use the undocumented check_selenium=FALSE
I will soon add this argument to the main branch but for now it is only in this dev branch.
Fingers crossed the upstream issues will be fixed soon and then this work around will not be reuired. will leave this open until a satisfatory solution appears... Thanks @piabenaud for your help on this.
Hey dude, Just tried to see if I could grab some data and hit a wall... Either a mac issue or a me issue... I specified the chrome version (87.0.4280.88). Do I need to provide more info?
