Fetching chromedriver binary with appium-chromedriver >6.0.0

Support

Hey there.

Recently I realized that appium-chromedriver does not fetch the required chromedriver binary when installing project with yarn
Going through the documentation of appium-chromedriver I found that

Since version 6.0.0 of this module automatic download of the latest known chromedriver does not happen anymore. The below information is only relevant for older module versions:

How then I should handle installation of the binary now?

Best Regards,
Kris.

You’d probably want to enable automatic chromedriver download. Check GitHub - appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver: Appium driver for Android UIAutomator2 for more details

Thanks @mykola-mokhnach for that link! Indeed that was the missing piece for me.
