chromedriver-update fails

[mars]

The most recent Chrome update introduced a breaking change.

So, I unsuccessfully attempted the built-in chromedriver updater.

% chromedriver-update

As a workaround, I manually downloaded & copied the newest chromedriver over the old one.

looks as if google changed their urls and the regex in /lib/chromedriver/helper.rb:36 no longer matches the url
change it to url = downloads.grep(/chromedriver_#{platform}.*.zip/).first
and it'll work

As far as I can tell, the download page has been moved.

Downloads have been moved to http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html, because Google Code downloads are being deprecated!
