How to run chrome browser in RSelenium

votes

My OP is Windows.

I have installed RSelenium and I want to open the chrome browser (default browser in RSelenium is Firefox)

I have download the google chrome driver from here and latest version of selenium standalone server and I run it from command line using this java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar in command line

after that in RStudio I run this:

startServer()
checkForServer()
mybrowser <- remoteDriver(browserName = "chrome")
mybrowser$open()

but it stacks in this:

[1] "Connecting to remote server"

it doesn't give any error. Any idea how can I open and use chrome browser? Could be possible to use the chrome of my system?

Did you try the vignette rpubs.com/johndharrison/RSelenium-Basics . It outlines using Docker and also rsDriver in the appendix. – jdharrison
@jdharrison and as alternative solution it refers the standalone version I use. Did you try to open chrome and works in RSelenium? Any help or steps will be more than helpful for me because I have really stuck. Thank you – Keri
Did you solve it? How? – RxT
