webdriver Manager , chrome version higher then 114

[rajkrrathi]

Since webdriver-manager is not supporting Chrome version > 114 and protractor has dev dependency on webdriver-manager.
How do we solve this issue?

Yes I'm also curious how we can solve this issue. Downgrading an older chrome version is very difficult. This is blocking my protractor automated tests

For work around, use the following link

@rajkrrathi / @MattMoran12 - have a look at how I solved it in Serenity/JS Protractor templates:

• instead of using webdriver-manager to download chromedriver, I use the chromedriver module directly - see package.json
• I then configure Protractor to use the chromedriver binary - see protractor config

You might also want to have a look at boilerplate Serenity/JS + Protractor projects on GitHub, which use this approach.

I hope this helps!
