I tried exactly what was given in the current version of documentation for test automation using selenium on the nw.js application. According to the documentation, copying only the chrome driver from the SDK build to the application directory should work. But it didn't work for me and was throwing an error saying chrome not reachable. Fortunately, it worked when I built the application with the SDK version of nw.js. So I made a correction in the documentation on the same.

### Installing

* Download ChromeDriver from NW.js website. It's in the SDK build.
* Extract the package and place `chromedriver` under the same dir that contains the NW.js binaries: `nw` for Linux, `nw.exe` for Windows, or `node-webkit.app` for Mac.

The instructions provided currently is not working when I tried to automate tests using selenium in nw version of my application. While debugging I found it working when the application is built with SDK version of nw. So simply copying the 'chromedriver' from SDK version to application built with production version of nw doesn't seem to work.
