Can't update chromedriver in macos10.12.6

I am trying to update chromedriver from 2.30 to 2.35. However, after I brew install chromedriver, the default chromedriver is still 2.30. If I redo brew, it will tell me I have already installed 2.35 version, but when I use chromedriver --version, it still shows 2.30. Can any one tell me why it's that? And can I know where does this brew install?

Thanks!

Output of brew list chromedriver:

/usr/local/Cellar/chromedriver/2.35/bin/chromedriver 
/usr/local/Cellar/chromedriver/2.35/homebrew.mxcl.chromedriv‌​er.plist

and output of which chromedriver shows it's using version 2.30 in other path.

Install or reinstall it using:

brew cask install chromedriver

When you need to update it, use:

brew cask upgrade chromedriver

For newr versions of MacOs and brew:

brew upgrade chromedriver --cask

The new version of the command to upgrade chromedriver is the following:

brew upgrade --cask chromedriver

If you receive the error:

“chromedriver” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.

You need to put it outside the quarantine with:

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /usr/local/bin/chromedriver

brew cask reinstall chromedriver

In my case helped just reinstalling chromedriver

Example output:

==> Satisfying dependencies
==> Downloading https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/75.0.3770.90/chromedriver_mac64.zip
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Verifying SHA-256 checksum for Cask 'chromedriver'.
==> Uninstalling Cask chromedriver
==> Unlinking Binary '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'.
==> Purging files for version 2.45 of Cask chromedriver
==> Installing Cask chromedriver
==> Linking Binary 'chromedriver' to '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'.
🍺  chromedriver was successfully installed!

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by:

brew uninstall chromedriver

then I did

brew info chromedriver

which told me to do:

brew tap homebrew/cask
brew cask install chromedriver

It installed chromedriver 2.40

  1. Download the 2.35 archive and unzip
  2. Place the standalone executable chromedriver wherever you like

  3. Add that location to the PATH variable by adding the following line to your .bash_profile file:

    export PATH="/Users/location/of/chromedriver:$PATH"
