[SOLVED] Kotlin Selenium Chromedriver doesn't exist

Issue

I'm trying to make a webscraping app with Kotlin. Since the websites I'll be scraping are JS generated I've been trying to make Selenium work but I've been stumped with this error.

java.lang.RuntimeException: An error occurred while executing doInBackground()
        at android.os.AsyncTask$3.done(AsyncTask.java:353)
        at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.finishCompletion(FutureTask.java:383)

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:764)
     Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: /home/nexus/Downloads/chromedriver

I've already use 'chmod 777' with the driver and tried it also with the AUR verison.

Here's the code from my scraping function

package com.example.nexus.scraper

import android.os.AsyncTask
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

class Scrape(): AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
    override fun doInBackground(vararg params: Void?): Void? {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","/home/nexus/Downloads/chromedriver")
        var driver: WebDriver = ChromeDriver()
        driver.get("www.google.com")
        return null
    }
}

And here's my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.nexus.scraper"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        packagingOptions {
            exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
            exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
            exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
            exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"    
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.3'
    implementation group: 'org.seleniumhq.selenium', name: 'selenium-java', version: '2.41.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-annotations:27.1.1'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

Thanks!

Solution

The error was caused by using Selenium and not Selendrium
