WebDriverException: Message: chrome not reachable - selenium

Question

I use Selenium Python,
when I run my crawler I got this error
WebDriverException: Message: chrome not reachable
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.9.248304,platform=Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64)
I read this question
I downloaded chromedriver (binary) and I copy/paste it to /usr/bin
I tried by
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/bin/chromedriver')
but I have the same error

Answer 1

In your protractor.configuration file, if you have the following:
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'chrome',
'chromeOptions': {
'binary': 'path/to/chromedriver.exe';
} },
Then please remove that binary and instead point to the chromdriver like this:
//protractor.conf.js
chromeDriver: "C:/path/to/chromedriver.exe",
capabilities: {
'browserName': 'chrome',
'chromeOptions': {
}
},
Notice how I removed the 'binary' argument from the capabilities and added the "chromedriver:" attribute.
That worked for me in removing that annoying error that says "
UnknownError: chrome not reachable

(Driver info: chromedriver=2.19.346078 (6f1f0cde889532d48ce8242342d0b84f94b114a1),
platform=Windows NT 10.0 x86_64)
(WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Lastly makes sure you update both chromedriver and seleniumServer like this:
webdriver-manager update
OR
Run this command below to update to a SPECIFIC chromedriver version i.e v2.24 as of 10/04/2016:
webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome 2.24
if it says that the command is not recognized, then add it to your PATH in windows environment variable. The webdriver-manager generally sits in the Protractor folder which you can get with npm install protractor
