Chrome not working with Robotframework / Selenium2Library - google-chrome

Question

I am trying to use Chrome browser with my Test cases. Same tests work fine with Firefox and PhantomJs.
However , Chrome browser starts but never opens a page.
I have installed
1. Chromdriver : port=9515 version=19.0.1068.0
2. Chrome : Version : 37.0.2062.120 (64-bit)
3. Selenium: Version : 2.42.1
4. RobotFramework : Version : 2.8.5
I think I have Paths variables configured accordingly as well.
google-chrome , starts Chrome
chromedriver , starts chromeDriver
Following line is responsible for starting chrome and opening page.
*** Variables ***
${BROWSER} Chrome
${MY-URL} http://www.google.com/
Open Browser | ${MY-URL} | ${BROWSER}
Errors :
Chrome:
WebDriverException: Message: u'Unable to either launch or connect to Chrome. Please check that ChromeDriver is up-to-date. Using Chrome binary at: /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome'
WebDriver Logs Shows Error

Can someone point something I am missing ?
Anyother way of debuging the problem ? Any Clue will be good.

Answer 1

Have you put chromedriver in your PATH ?
And do you run the test with current user or with root ?
Selenium needs chromedriver to call chrome, so you can download it from google.com and put it in /usr/bin, or just update your PATH environment variable.
Then, on Debian, root can't (otherwise with errors) call google-chrome browser, so try it with your account.
Hope it helpful.

Answer 2

NODE,
Please re-check your web driver, delete chrome web driver and download new web driver: Here
Check your VARIABLE NAME again! Do NOT use the "-" character to set a variable name like ${MY-URL}! You should change it => ${MY_URL}
You can try to turn of UAC or/and Firewall and try again.
As i know, when you use selenium2library, you don't need to set path to web driver(!?)
Hope it helpful.
