Rselenium issue

I'm trying to scrape a website using Rselenium. However I'm getting an error:

Error: checkForServer is now defunct. Users in future can find the function in 
file.path(find.package("RSelenium"), "examples/serverUtils"). The
recommended way to run a selenium server is via Docker. Alternatively
see the RSelenium::rsDriver function.

My chrome is updted to version 58 and moxilla to version 45, rselenium used to work earlier but I'm not sure what happened please help guys.

Just make sure you have docker account and you have it installed.

try this

library('RSelenium')
rD=rsDriver()
remDr =rD[["client"]]
remDr$navigate("https://www.vinmonopolet.no/vmp/Land/Chile/Gato-Negro-Cabernet-Sauvignon-2017/p/295301")
webElement = remDr$findElement('xpath', '//*[@id="product_2953010"]/span[2]')
webElement$clickElement()

The following script works for me with the new RSelenium...

rD <- rsDriver(port=4444L,browser="chrome")
remDr <- rD$client
remDr$navigate(url)
