Originally reported on Google Code with ID 5591

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download chromedriver2 (version 0.8)
2. Try to create a chrome webdriver and a session for it inside ruby

What is the expected output? 

chromedriver creates a new session

What do you see instead?

inside the logs: {"message":"unknown error: unrecognized chrome option: detach\n  (Driver
info: chromedriver=0.8,platform=Mac OS X 10.8.3 x86_64)"}

Operating system: Mac OS X 10.8.3 x86_64
selenium-webdriver gem version: 2.32.1

Comments:

The problem is that chromedriver2 doesn't support the option chrome.detach, which the
current webdriver always sends.

A related error is that the new chromedriver uses prefs, instead of profiles, so code
that changes the profiles will also not work, while there is no (easy) way to set prefs.

Here are two changes for bridge.rb that solve the original and the related issue:

Here's the corresponding issue in ChromeDriver - please star it to draw attention to
it:

Can this issue be marked a duplicate of chromedriver#208 ?

chromedriver2 not handling the detach property is only part of the problem. The fact
that it now uses "prefs" instead of "profiles" (with different semantics) is something
that probably needs to be addressed inside selenium-webdriver

Btw the above mentioned two code changes address the two issues. The first one is for
the deatch property (enables it to be not-sent to the driver), while the second is
to add handling to the prefs property

latest version of chromedriver shows issue 208 fixed for the detach problem. is that
enough to retry here?

Yes, this is no longer an issue with the latest chromedriver.

The profile / prefs thing is still a problem, but it should be a separate issue.

+1 still getting:
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError: unknown error: unrecognized chrome option:
profile
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.0,platform=Mac OS X 10.8.4 x86_64)

With latest chromedriver  and latest ruby bindings
