How to add Chromedriver to PATH in linux?
The solution posted by @AnythingIsFine is indeed correct.
However in my case my pytest was still unable to find the chromedriver (despite it was correctly added to the PATH and from the terminal I could execute it).
So I've solved by adding an alias of the chromedriver
in the /usr/bin
directory:
sudo ln -s /path/to/chromedriver /usr/bin
Move Chromedriver to path with:
sudo mv -f ~/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
/usr/local/bin/chromedriver
is path.
You can specify the absolute path to your chrome driver in your script as such:
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/path/to/driver/chromedriver')
Or you can add the path to your webdriver in the PATH
system variable as so:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/driver/chrome-driver
You may add the above line to your /home/<user>/.profile
file to make it permanent.

Hope this helps!
