URL for Chromedriver downloads changed in version >= 121

Orb version

1.4.6

What happened

We started to receive this error when installing chromedriver as part of the browsertools orb:

Chrome version major is 121
Installed version of Google Chrome is 121.0.6167.184 
404
Matching Chrome Driver Version 404'd, falling back to first matching major version.

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

Exited with code exit status 22

I did some digging and found this commit correlated to the error, a change to the chrome-for-testing repo which is used for version resolution: GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing@3bfd77e

As of this commit it appears that chromedriver versions >= 121 have migrated from https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing to https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public.

Current workaround is to pin version 120 (I'm on a debian machine):

      - browser-tools/install-browser-tools:
          chrome-version: 120.0.6099.62

Expected behavior

We should resolve the right version--but it looks like the place these are stored has changed. It also appears that this change is only affecting a subset of versions (121) so just changing the URL to resolve won't be enough, we need to conditionally select https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing for < 121 and https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public for >= 121

We are seeing this too, but only since this afternoon. Up until this morning a fallback to an earlier build in the same major version was working:

Chrome version major is 121
Installed version of Google Chrome is 121.0.6167.184 
404
Matching Chrome Driver Version 404'd, falling back to first matching major version.

But now we're getting the same results as @cbrews above.

It does look like you could pin chrome-version: 121.0.6167.85 and have that work for now.

Never mind, that fails for different reasons. Chrome 120 it is.

Important to note that you might need something along the lines of this before installing chrome/chrome-driver:

- run:
    name: Apt update # I'm on debian, you might need to replace this...
    command:  sudo apt-get update

Thank you @levicole and @cbrews, indeed this fixed the issue for us for now:

    steps:
      - run:
          # Remove this step once we unpin the chrome-version below
          name: apt update for installing chrome
          command:  sudo apt-get update
      - browser-tools/install-chrome:
          chrome-version: "120.0.6099.224" # Wait until https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/browser-tools-orb/pull/105 is merged and fixes https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/browser-tools-orb/issues/104
      - browser-tools/install-chromedriver

Thanks @cbrews , we're being impacted by this as well but pinning the version is a good short-term fix as others have mentioned.

Thank you for providing the workaround here, and the Pull Request. That's now been merged.
