Selenium exits with errors (chromewebdriver)

Question

When I run my script (which tests the subscribe feature on my friends website) It exits with this error:

  File "subtest.py", line 3, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Chrome('/usr/local/bin/chromedriver')
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py", line 62, in __init__
self.service.start()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 96, in start
self.assert_process_still_running()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 109, in assert_process_still_running
% (self.path, return_code)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Service /usr/local/bin/chromedriver unexpectedly exited. Status code was: 127

I should also mention that I am using python2.7

Try running the chromedriver binary by itself, in the case of a missing library like @Joao Vitorino has mentioned it will log.

In my case I needed to install libgconf-2-4 on Ubuntu 14.04

Status code was: 127

Means command not found or a dependency library was not found
