Tags: chromedriver. command-line. selenium. mac. windows. Many automated functional testing projects these days rely on chromedriver as the main driver. Below are steps for Mac and Windows to download it, add it to your PATH, and verify setup. ChromeDriver does not download files to download.defaultdirectory value set in profile #338. Open GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue Apr 15, 2015 32 comments Open. Mac OS 10.11.6 Faced it when writing my own library for browser automation. Once you download the zip file, unzip it to retrieve chromedriver.exe With this, we complete the download process for ChromeDriver. In our next article, we will focus on creating a selenium project in Eclipse, where we will use this chrome driver and the jar files that we downloaded in the previous article.
The ChromeDriver getting started guide isn’t super helpful if you are unfamiliar with including the ChromeDriver location in your PATH environment variable. The PATH variable helps Chrome find the downloaded ChromeDriver exe. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve updated PATH variables on Windows for years but never on a Mac, until now:
System PATH Setup
The following instructions will help you create your own PATH to a unique folder on your Mac or copy the file to an existing PATH directory for ChromeDriver.
- Download the ChromeDriver executable.
- Now we need to tell Selenium where it is and for that we have a few choices.To do this:
- Open up Terminal
- Run
sudo nano /etc/paths
- Enter your password
- Go to the bottom of the file and enter the path you wish to add
- My PATH looks like:
/Users/myname/Documents/WebDriver
- Control-x to quit
- Y to save
- Press enter to confirm
- To double check, quit Terminal and relaunch it. Run
echo $PATH
. You should see your newly added path in the stream of other paths already there. - Finally, update your tests to run using Chrome and run your tests!
After running your tests, if your PATH isn’t set up correctly you get this helpful message:

Latest version Released:
Library provides the way to automatically manage drivers for different browsers
Project description
The main idea is to simplify management of binary drivers for different browsers.
For now support:
- ChromeDriver
- GeckoDriver
- IEDriver
- OperaDriver
- EdgeChromiumDriver
Before:You should download binary chromedriver, unzip it somewhere in you PC and set path to this driver like this:
It’s boring!!! Moreover every time the new version of driver released, you should go and repeat all steps again and again.
With webdriver manager, you just need to do two simple steps:
Install manager:
Use with Chrome:
Use with Chromium:
Use with FireFox:
Use with IE
Use with Edge
Use with Opera
If the Opera browser is installed in a location other than C:/Program Files or C:/Program Files (x86) on windowsand /usr/bin/opera for all unix variants and mac, then use the below code,
Configuration
Chrome Web Drivers
If you face error related to github credentials, you need to place github token: (*)
Example:
(*) access_token required to work with Github API more info https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use/.
There is also possibility to set same variables via ENV VARIABLES.
To silent
webdriver_manager
logs and remove them from console, initialize env variable WDM_LOG_LEVEL
with '0'
value before your selenium tests:or via constructor:
By default all driver binaries are saved to user.home/.wdm folder. You can override this setting and save binaries to project.root/.wdm.
Driver cache by default is valid for 1 day. You are able to change this value using constructor parameter:
This will make your test automation more elegant and robust!
