Package: chromedriver Version: 47.0.2526.73-1~deb8u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to use the WebDriver DLL's for .NET under Debian to talk with Chromium. The latest DLL's were downloaded from http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/ and added to a Mono project. Unfortunately, when creating a new instance of the ChromeDriver() object, the driver fails to start for two reasons. Reason #1: The driver is not located in the current search path. This problem can be remedied by providing a path to the driver location in code like this: IWebDriver dr = new ChromeDriver( "/usr/lib/chromium" ); Reason #2: The driver must be named "chromedriver.exe". When the .NET DLL's look for the driver, they require it to be named "chromedriver.exe" rather than the current name "chromedriver". One solution that works is to create a link in '/usr/lib/chromium' like this: ln -s chromedriver chromedriver.exe With the link in place, the driver works fine with the .NET DLL's. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages chromedriver depends on: ii chromium 47.0.2526.73-1~deb8u1 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libfreetype6 2.6.1-0.1 ii libgcc1 1:5.2.1-23 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-1 ii libnspr4 2:4.11-1 ii libnspr4-0d 2:4.11-1 ii libnss3 2:3.21-1 ii libnss3-1d 2:3.21-1 ii libstdc++6 5.2.1-23 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 chromedriver recommends no packages. chromedriver suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
