chromeDir does not default executing directory

See original GitHub issue

according to the docs chromeDir should default to executing directory, instead it throws error The file C:\Users\xxxxxx\.nuget\packages\canopy\2.0.0\lib\chromedriver.exe does not exist. The driver can be downloaded at http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html running on .NET Core 2 (both on OSX and Windows)

thanks, there are lots of ways to fix it, this should be .NET 4.6 and .NET Core compatible canopy.configruation.chromeDir <- AppContext.BaseDirectory https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.appcontext.basedirectory?view=netframework-4.6

Can you see if canopy.dll is being copied to the bin/Debug folder with your application’s code?

Or are you running via nunit runner or something?

If none of that is obvious helps narrow it down, put this before you start chrome and it should fix it.

canopy.configruation.chromeDir <-  System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location)
