Hello,

I have a problem on running Portable Chrome on AppHarbor Server.
I tried to make it work without using Google Portable Chrome, but I get an error that : "Chrome binary was not found".

gitHub repo: https://github.com/alexcroitoru95/coders-footprint

The error is:

"ExceptionMessage": "unknown error: chrome failed to start\n (Driver info: chromedriver=2.36.540470 (e522d04694c7ebea4ba8821272dbef4f9b818c91),platform=Windows NT 6.3.9600 x86_64)",

    Hi,

    It's likely related to Chrome not being installed on the servers, so perhaps try headless as mentioned in my comment here. I'll close this discussion for now, but feel free to follow up here or in the other thread.

    Best,
    Rune
