Latest chrome is not supported 115.0.5790.98

[jthacker]

Background

As of version 115, chromedriver builds are now stored in a new repository.

Starting with M115 the latest Chrome + ChromeDriver releases per release channel (Stable, Beta, Dev, Canary) are available at the Chrome for Testing availability dashboard. For automated version downloading one can use the convenient JSON endpoints.

Reproducible case

docker run -it node:latest /bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/project && cd /tmp/project
npm install webdriver-manager
npx webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=115.0.5790.98

Output

npx webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=115.0.5790.98

I think this is also the same with my problem, today I tried to run webdriver-manager on my phyton code for selenium, and this error appear

Node.js v19.8.1

[bboycs]

chromedrive changed their endpoint for download the latest chromedriver (115 onwards)

[StanislavKharchenko]

use "selenium-manager" to download latest chromedriver binaries.

[bboycs]

@StanislavKharchenko do you have idea how to match the "selenium-manager" with protractor ?

[StanislavKharchenko]

@bboycs The simple solution is to prepare short script which will call selenium-manager, download driver binaries and copy it to node-modules/webdriver-manager/downloads folder (to path where these binaries should actually present)

[ParmaJonEman]

What I did to solve this is just write a postinstall node script to hit the "last-known-good-versions-with-downloads" endpoint , download the correct file, and unzip it. I then added the "chromeDriver" parameter to the protractor config file, so that it points to where I download it, instead of attempting to use webdriver-manager.

[i-C-o-d-e-r]

Inspired by @StanislavKharchenko and @ParmaJonEman proposals, I use this method as a workaround:

1. Install the NPM package chromedriver as a dev-dependency in package.json
2. Amend Protractors config file protractor.conf.js by letting chromeDriver point to the Chrome-Driver executable provided by the NPM package. On Windows this is chromeDriver: './node_modules/chromedriver/lib/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe'

[karan-deep]

For Mac and using NPM webdriver-manager package,

1. Download same version of chrome-driver as per your browser version. https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/
2. Go to cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/protractor/node_modules/webdriver-manager/selenium.
3. Copy downloaded chrome-driver to this folder.
4. Rename downloaded chrome-driver version with your latest selenium chrome driver version. Ex -> downloaded chrome-driver to chromedriver_114.0.5735.90.
5. After renaming, convert it to zip folder as well.
6. Allow Anyway it from Security & Privacy.

Now, you would be using latest chrome driver for selenium with your latest browser. You would not see following error "session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 114
Current browser version is 116.0.5845.110 with binary path /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome".

Don't run webdriver-manager update cmd after renaming otherwise it will overwrite older version of chrome-driver

[barbara]

@karan-deep I tried this but I still get an error:

Error: SessionNotCreatedError: Unable to create new service: ChromeDriverService
Driver info: driver.version: unknown

Any ideas?

I use this method as a workaround by creating a script

@StanislavKharchenko

use "selenium-manager" to download latest chromedriver binaries.

Not this surely?

Can you be more specific? What should people use instead of npx webdriver-manager update?
