Hello,  
While executing the step - Open Browser , it is failing with message - chromedriver’ executable needs to be in path.

I have already placed the chrome driver in /usr/local/bin with all required permissions.

Please note I am running this test in MAC…

Please let me know how to resolve this.

Hi @tusharkr18 ,

It’s been a long time since I read the documentation and set this up manually, from memory there is the chromedriver and also a webdriver, I also vaguely remember that on the mac they need to go in different locations to other unixes.

If you are just wanting to get going I’ve had good success with [GitHub - rasjani/webdrivermanager: Python module to facilitate downloading and deploying WebDriver binaries for Chrome, Firefox, Opera & Edge](https://github.com/rasjani/webdrivermanager)
