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.

exe is not a standard unix extension, so that should not be done.
It's easy enough as a normal user to satisfy all of your criteria. Go
into a directory that is in the mono search path and do:
$ ln -s /usr/lib/chromium/chromium chromium.exe
Best wishes,
Mike
