I want to use Chrome for automation test with Robot Framework. Here are my settings:

*User variables:*
name: webdriver.chrome.driver
value: C:\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe

name: PATH

My code:

*** Settings ***

Library  BuiltIn
Library  Selenium2Library
Library  SikuliLibrary
Library  OperatingSystem

${HOST} =  VM
${URL} =  http://VM.com

${BROWSER} =  Chrome


*** Test Cases ***
Begin Web Test
    Open Browser  ${URL}   ${BROWSER}
    maximize browser window

After execution of command: pybot test.robot:

==============================================================================

Download Chromedriver.exe from its official website, extract the .exe file and copy this .exe file in scripts folder of Python installation, e.g. C:\Python36\Scripts

After this, add this scripts path in Environment variable, as below:

Path Environment Variable

and now execute your test case.

"chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH" means that the location of chromedriver needs to be in the path. In your case, path needs to be "...;C:\chromedriver_win32". PATH contains folders, not executables.
