[QA] Running tests in Chrome locally?

[Tomislav Plavcic]

Hi Željko,

this one falls under the "computer works better when you plug it in."

I didn't install chromedriver before - somehow I thought it was already 
supported in selenium and the error message confused me.

Everything works now - thank you!
