The Added Support for Installing Chromedriver 2.23+ on OS X about appium-chromedriver HOT 8 CLOSED

If you just to want to get the latest version of chromedriver try installing
npm install appium@beta -g
I believe appium v1.5.3 and appium v1.6 still default v2.21 of chromedriver. The updates to the latest will only reflect to appium v1.6.1.
IMO this is not an appium issue.

@rkavalap I think you have prematurely closed this issue. I have a working test bed of mobile devices and do not want to update the Appium version 1.5.3 in use and replace it with a beta version. I would like to adopt the newest version of the Chrome Driver into this version of Appium to minimise the risk of breaking the productive tests running.

The previous issue with the same title suggested this was possible and wanted to confirm why the upgrade was not working as described previously. Either I'm making a mistake or there is an issue.... Please see Add Support for Installing Chromedriver 2.23+ on OS X #47

@Can-too How are you installing your appium-chromedriver package version 2.9.3 or 2.9.4 on top already installed appium v1.5.3 ?
Can you post your install log information.
If you just wanted to updated your chromedriver version, you can as well manually download the binaries and replace them with a copy command.

This is what i am seeing in my console on my mac when installing the latest version of appium-chromedriver.

from appium-chromedriver.

@rkavalap many thanks for reconsidering this issue: To answer your first question How are you installing..? I'm simply using the command at the tom of the following:

Which all seems good no?

from appium-chromedriver.

@Can-too I believe you are executing the command from your home directory or else where.
appium-chromedriver is getting installed under /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium-chromedriver.
But when appium itself is executed, it launches from the appium dependent packages and the flow in this case is launches appium-android-driver which internally launches appium-chromedriver
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-android-driver/node_modules/appium-chromedriver

So try executing
npm install [email protected]
from /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-android-driver
and execute your test. That should fix your issue.
