Download the new chrome driver http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.4/

I was having the same issue and updated the chrome driver, and the issue was resolved. I also updated my gems.

Based on the exception, you are using selenium-webdriver version 2.33.0. My guess is there is an incompatibility between this version and your chromedriver.

Assuming you are using the latest chromedriver, you likely need to update to the latest selenium-webdriver, which is version 2.35.1.

Try a:

gem install selenium-webdriver
