Selenium Chrome Heroku

[muhammedtufekyapan]

Hi Everyone,

Is there any way to solve Heroku's problem with Selenium Chrome engine with Kimurai?

I need to use

@engine = :selenium_chrome

I use build packs for Chrome on Heroku but I still gots error related to file path of Chrome and couldn't find any way to define it in spider settings.

Error message from Heroku:

Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: not a file: "/usr/local/bin/chromedriver"

Hi everyone,

I fix this issue but now I stuck with ChromeDriver on Heroku. I got the following error;

Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: unable to connect to chromedriver 127.0.0.1:9515

Is there anybody knows how to fix this issue?

@muhammedtufekyapan You likely need to use your own Docker container with chromedriver and headless chrome installed on it. Heroku's default stacks do not have chrome or chromedriver. See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/stack-packages

Have a look here too. Might help with the driver locations for Chrome and Chromedriver. They have to be manually set for Heroku to pick them up. Set them as ENV variables and reference them as per this link.
