# Electron Troubleshooting

## I am getting error "ChromeDriver for Electron is not found" or "Electron application requires Chrome driver XX to enable automation"

**Electron** is an open-source framework for building desktop applications that run on an embedded Chromium browser.

Each Electron app can use a different Chromium version.

To automate an Electron app in **Leapwork** , the matching **ChromeDriver** version must be in the Leapwork driver directory.

If it is missing, you will see an error such as:

* **"ChromeDriver for Electron is not found"**

* **"Electron application requires Chrome driver XX to enable automation"** (where **XX** is the driver version).

**Resolution**

You need to download and place the correct ChromeDriver version in Leapwork's driver folder.

**Step 1.**Download ChromeDriver

1. Go to the [ChromeDriver Downloads](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/chromedriver/downloads) page.

2. Find the driver version that matches the **major version** mentioned in the error message.

   * Example: For version 85.0, you can use 85.0.4183.87 or 85.0.4183.83.

   * It is recommended to download the latest available minor version.

**Step 2.**Place ChromeDriver in Leapwork's directory

1. Navigate to:

   `C:\Program Files\Leapwork\Studio`

2. Create a new folder named **Driver** (if it does not exist).

3. Inside it, create another folder named **Chrome**.

4. Inside the **Chrome** folder, create one more folder with the **major version number** (for example, `85`).

   The final path should look like this:

   `C:\Program Files\Leapwork\Studio\Driver\Chrome\85`

5. Unzip the downloaded **chromedriver_win32.zip** file.

6. Place the **chromedriver.exe** file in the folder you just created.

**Step 3.**Restart Leapwork Flow

After placing the driver, **restart Leapwork Flow** before running your test again.
