Chromedriver 2.30 does not work with Chrome 61

[Noemi Lapresta]

The latest `chromium-chromedriver` release (`61.0.3163.79-0ubuntu0.14.04.1196`) is actually Chromedriver 2.30, which does not work with Chromium 61, both according to the release notes [ https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/2.32/notes.txt ] and to my attempts to use it.

Ubuntu version:

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04

`chromium-chromedriver` version: 61.0.3163.79-0ubuntu0.14.04.1196
`chromium-browser` version: 61.0.3163.79-0ubuntu0.14.04.1196

What I expected to happen: `chromium-chromedriver` works with the `chromium-browser` version of the same version number.

What happened instead: Selenium reported an error from `chromium-chromedriver` when trying to use it to boot Chromium

Is it really a duplicate? In my case, Chromedriver can't even launch Chrome. This strikes me as markedly different from #1719572, where Chromedriver can launch Chrome, but some issues exist regarding clicking links outside the viewport.

@Noemi, do you have a detailed error message? Can you share the commands you use to launch chromium with chromedriver?

[Noemi Lapresta (purpliminal-deactivatedaccount)]

We're using Watir from Ruby, which uses Selenium underneath. The way we connect is, essentially:

```
require 'watir'

Watir::Browser.new :chrome
```

This is the error we get from it, which isn't particularly clear:

```
unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.30,platform=Linux 4.4.0-51-generic x86_64) (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)
```

Launching chromedriver independently and attempting to connect to it as a remote WebDriver instance, we can see that it attempts to launch chromium-browser as such:

```
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser --disable-background-networking --disable-client-side-phishing-detection --disable-default-apps --disable-hang-monitor --disable-popup-blocking --disable-prompt-on-repost --disable-sync --disable-web-resources --enable-automation --enable-logging --force-fieldtrials=SiteIsolationExtensions/Control --ignore-certificate-errors --load-extension=/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.89Gfz0/internal --log-level=0 --metrics-recording-only --no-first-run --password-store=basic --remote-debugging-port=12850 --safebrowsing-disable-auto-update --test-type=webdriver --use-mock-keychain --user-data-dir=/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.SGNNaW data:,
```

Which returns the following error:

```
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```

Ah, that is bug #1718885 then, for which a fix is currently being built, and should be deployed soon.

@Olivier Thank you!
