My current version is 81.0.4044.69 and I want to update to the latest version 83.0.4103.39
When I open Terminal and I do: brew cask install chromedriver
It says: Warning: Cask 'chromedriver' is already installed.
How can I update to the latest version 83.0.4103.39?

UPDATE: Now you can also do:
brew update brew upgrade chromedriver or
brew update brew upgrade --cask chromedriver Also be aware that after each upgrade you will get again a system warning when using the chromedriver for the first time so you need to click Cancel in the warning and then go to "Preferences => Security & Privacy" and click "Allow Anyway" to accept the risk. Then on the next run, you'll have to click "Open" once.
Note: The answer below was given for an older version and may not work anymore
I found out that I should do:
brew update brew cask upgrade chromedriver Another option is to uninstall and install it again like this:
brew cask uninstall chromedriver ==> Uninstalling Cask chromedriver ==> Unlinking Binary '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'. ==> Purging files for version 81.0.4044.69 of Cask chromedriver brew cask install chromedriver ==> Downloading ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Verifying SHA-256 checksum for Cask 'chromedriver'. ==> Installing Cask chromedriver ==> Linking Binary 'chromedriver' to '/usr/local/bin/chromedriver'. 🍺 chromedriver was successfully installed! Now:
chromedriver --version ChromeDriver 83.0.4103.39 (ccbf011cb2d2b19b506d844400483861342c20cd-refs/branch-heads/4103@{#416}) I would recommend start using webdriver-manager:
pip install webdriver-manager what I prefer mostly and use it like:
from selenium import webdriver from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install()) with that package you should not worry about version of chromedriver, even though, you can even choose particular chrome driver version:
driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager(version='86.0.4240.22').install()) it is not the solution of the ticket, but it makes live easier working with chromedriver
Now its just brew upgrade chromedriver no longer cask
When I initially ran the following commands,
brew upgrade chromedriver brew upgrade --cask chromedriver brew uninstall chromedriver I got the error below.
Error: Cask 'chromedriver' is not installed.
So I had to remove the chromedriver not managed by Homebrew first.
rm `which chromedriver` After that, brew install chromedriver successfully installed the latest version.
Uninstalling & installing the chromedriver worked -
brew uninstall chromedriver brew install --cask chromedriver I have recently have issues where I would receive a warning about chromedriver's developer not being trusted. To resolve this I use brew info chromedriver which gives the directory for chromedriver. Change into that directory and type ls -l and if the code like drwxr-xr-x has an @ at the end, that means your mac has quarantined that file. To pull it out of quarantine, type xattr -d com.apple.quarantine chromedriver. Then you should be good to go.
