In this short tutorial, I will show you how to fix the following error:
chromedriver” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. Unable to launch the chrome browser
The error might occur when you install Chromedriver on a Mac OS and try to run it for the first time. That happens because Mac OS blocks chromedriver
binary by default.
The solution is to make Mac OS trust chromedriver
binary. This can be done in two steps:
To find chromedriver
binary path, run the following command in the terminal:
which chromedriver
The output should be similar to:
/usr/local/bin/chromedriver
Now you need to tell Mac OS to trust this binary by lifting the quarantine. Do this by the following terminal command:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/chromedriver
Now, rerun your test or script, and it should be able to run chromedriver
without the error.
