Answer 1

I had this issue because of path override with rbenv shim. It's worth checking where which chromedriver points too.

For me the fix was: gem uninstall chromedriver-helper and brew install chromedriver

Answer 2

If you using rbenv on linux machine then

copy 'chromedriver' to current using ruby versions like below -

cp chromedriver $HOME/.rbenv/versions/2.2.0/bin

Example: cp chromedriver home/abc_user/.rbenv/versions/2.2.0/bin

and then set the permissions like -

chmod +x home/abc_user/.rbenv/versions/2.2.0/bin/chromedriver
