Unable to connect to chromedriver 127 0 0 1 9515 on Amazon Linux AMI server

Question

While setting up my Selenium WebDriver tests with Linux & automating them with CRON Jobs, I am receiving the below error:

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

which chromedriver returns:

/usr/bin/chromedriver

and which google-chrome-stable returns:

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

I thought that the error was related to not having Chrome installed yet, so I did that, but has not seemed to fix my issue.
Is there any work around?

Answer 1

The issue seems to be only with the ChromeDriver (possibly /usr/bin).

ldd /usr/bin/chromedriver

Also check your dependencies. You maybe missing some.
