In irb I do the following: 

require "watir"
b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome

I then get the following error: 

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

OSX 10.12.3 Ruby 2.3.1 Chrome Driver latest version Watir 6.2.0

    you need to download the driver, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27719345/how-to-specify-the-location-of-the-chromedriver-binary – max pleaner Mar 03 '17 at 07:25

    you can `gem install webdrivers` and it will automatically keep your system up to date with the latest version of any driver being used – titusfortner Mar 03 '17 at 17:49
  • We had to hand over the path to the chromedriver bin when using it on heroku. See my detailed answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/50781946/135160 – anka Jun 10 '18 at 08:42
