# Known Issues

## `chromedriver-helper` affects other projects on my system

v1.2.0 and earlier installed an executable named `chromedriver`, which may cause confusion for apps on your system that are _not_ using `chromedriver-helper`. v2.0.0 and later do not cause this problem.

The common symptom is an error message that looks like this:

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

First, confirm that we're talking about the same thing by running:

``` sh
bundle exec ruby -e "system('chromedriver -v')"
```

and making sure you see something like:

```
.../rubygems_integration.rb:462:in `block in replace_bin_path': can't find executable chromedriver for gem chromedriver-helper (Gem::Exception)
```

If you see this message, then **uninstall all versions of `chromedriver-helper` prior to v2.0.0**; and make sure your other projects have updated to v2.0.0 or later.

## CentOS 6 and 7

Apparently some versions of `chromedriver` won't run on CentOS 6 and 7, due to the [problems explained here](https://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/). The error messages look something like:
