I have only managed to execute tests with Google Chrome (using the chromedriver).

Can anyone give an example how to start executing tests with Chromium?

Make sure your Chromium binary can be located or set it explicitly.

Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome.path = '/usr/bin/chromium'
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :chrome
browser = Watir::Browser.new driver

Is it possible to use Chrome driver only using by watir-webdriver. in the above code example, it needs to use selenium-webdriver also. – Ripon Al Wasim Jan 13 '15 at 06:29
slight tweek worked for me: `Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome.driver_path = '/usr/lib/chromium'` I think the method may have changed from `path` to `driver_path`. And my binary was installed in `lib`. – eaton9000 Nov 27 '18 at 05:33

I think it should be possible, you just have to provide path to Chromium. A few pages you should check:
