Update your Selenium driver_path directly.

Just call this before launching your new Chrome browser window:

Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Service.driver_path = Rails.root.join( "lib", "chromedriver" ).to_s

Of course, change the path to where your chromedriver is.

NOTE: driver_path needs to be a String, so don't pass in a File or Path object.
