I am quoting Ilya Vassilevsky from this post

ChromeDriver is just a driver for Chrome. It needs the actual Chrome browser installed on the same machine to actually work.

Heroku doesn't have Chrome installed on its dynos by default. You need to use a buildpack that installs Chrome. For example:

https://github.com/dwayhs/heroku-buildpack-chrome

You can see how it fetches Chrome:

https://github.com/dwayhs/heroku-buildpack-chrome/blob/master/bin/compile#L36-38

Then I read their discussion in the comments:

Petr Gazarov says

I tried this buildpack and it didn't work. I'm suspecting installing google chrome (or any browser) on heroku might be more involved.

Ilya Vassilevsky replies

Yes, Heroku is a very opinionated and closed platform. It should be much easier to set up Chrome with ChromeDriver on your own VM on AWS, Linode, or DigitalOcean.

Petr Gazarov replies

Thanks for your answer Ilya. I ended up re-writing with Watir with phantomjs because I couldn't get Heroku to install Chrome.

You can read more info in that question. If something comes to my mind, I will post it.

Chrome binary not found on Heroku with Selenium for Ruby on Rails

Two weeks ago, I managed to have a working environment on Heroku, combining Capybara, Selenium, Chromedriver and Chrome for web scraping. However, one week ago I must have changed something, which causes the setup to crash due to the Chrome binary not being found.

I'm guessing you upgraded to the latest selenium-webdriver and chromedriver in the last few weeks. chromeOptions is no longer a valid key to pass, you can try changing it to goog:chromeOptions but you really should just be using an instance of the Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Options class

Note that this buildpack only works on the Cedar-14 stack, for which the end-of-life window began May 1, 2019. For newer stacks such as Heroku-16 and Heroku-18 you must instead use the more modern Google Chrome Buildpack, which runs Chrome in headless mode without Xvfb. For more details see Browser and User Acceptance Testing.
