chromium-browser package

Latest chromium-chromedriver incompatible with Chromium browser

Asked by Bruce

I have Chromium Browser installed: 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit)

I have also installed chromium-chromedriver via apt.

$ chromedriver --version
$ ChromeDriver 2.32.498513 (2c63aa53b2c658de596ed550eb5267ec5967b351)

But according to https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads version 2.36 is required to support Chromium 65.

I am using chromedriver with Selenium in a Ruby project to do automated browser testing and this version of chromedriver cannot automate Chrome.

Should the latest package not include at least version 2.36?

Many thanks

/usr/local/bin/chromedriver

and

ChromeDriver 2.35 (0)

It appears I have a duplicate & I assume the package has not overwritten my old one at /usr/local/bin/chromedriver.

Am I best sym linking it to ensure future updates are used - I'd rather not amend my PATH?

Many thanks

Used a symlink, all working now, thanks.
