I'm following the instructions on how to run browser tests from here https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/dusk on a fresh install of Laravel using Homestead running on a VirtualBox vm.

When I try to run artisan dusk however, it fails and tells me it can't find the Chrome binary.

1) Tests\Browser\ExampleTest::testBasicExample
Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\UnknownErrorException: unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary`

Googling tells me to install the Chrome Binary (of course) but that appears to have been done already. Scrolling up the CLI, I see the following from when I ran dusk install.

Downloading ChromeDriver binaries...
ChromeDriver binaries successfully installed for version 86.0.4240.22.

So is there something else I need to install, or do I need to tell dusk where to look for the binary, or is it something else entirely?

As you already have ChromeDrive you maybe just need to start it

./vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/chromedriver-linux

In order to run laravel dusk you need to have google chrome installed.

That being said if you are using Homestead simply enable the webdriver feature in your Homestead.yaml configuration:

features:
- webdriver: true

Remember that after enabling the webdriver feature, you need to reboot/provison your homestead to load the config change.

vagrant reload --provision

You simply need to have chrome installed. That's it. Not chrome dev or canary or any of those alternave versions, you need to have the real chrome browser installed. I had chrome dev installed and I kept getting this error until I downloaded the actual chrome.
