Question

So I have read all the docs on adding chromedriver to my path and followed all of them. I am on a Mac with selenium2, maven, eclipse, and all the latest drivers:

You could have a go at using the driver binary downloader maven plugin to download the driver binaries for you (https://github.com/Ardesco/selenium-standalone-server-plugin):

                
                    com.lazerycode.selenium
                    driver-binary-downloader-maven-plugin
                    1.0.7
                    
                        ${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/selenium_standalone_binaries
                        ${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/selenium_standalone_zips                            
                    
                    
                        
                            
                                selenium
                            
                        
                    
                

This will download the binaries and set a maven property that you can use in your surefire/failsafe configuration like this:

                
                    org.apache.maven.plugins
                    maven-failsafe-plugin
                    2.7.2
                                                
                                                      
                            
                            ${phantomjs.binary.path}
                            ${webdriver.chrome.driver}
                            ${webdriver.ie.driver}
                            ${webdriver.opera.driver}
                        
                        
                            **/*WebDriver.java
                        
                    
                    
                        
                            
                                integration-test
                                verify
                            
                        
                    
                

When you instantiate a new driver object the system property pointing to the driver binary location will now be set and it will just work.
