# webdriver_auto_update
A program to check existing local chrome driver version and automatically downloads the latest available version online.

# Program Functionality
- Checks local chromedriver driver version on your computer and compares it with the latest version available online.
- The latest online version/release will be downloaded if it does not match your local version.
- If no local chromedriver.exe file is found in the specified folder path, it will be downloaded automatically to that particular folder.

## Pre-requisites:
1. Download Google Chrome
2. Pip install Selenium Library


## Installation
- Make sure you have Python installed in your system.
- Run the following to install:

``` 
pip install webdriver-auto-update
```


## Example
```
# webdriver_auto_update.py
from webdriver_auto_update import check_driver

## Make sure to pass in the folder used for storing/downloading chromedriver
check_driver('folder/path/of/your/chromedriver')
```


## Note
- The objective of this program is to reduce redundancy of searching and downloading the updated version of chrome driver to the OpenSource community.
- Intended to be used in Selenium projects, browser testing or web automation.
