Webdrivermanager doesn't run the latest chrome driver version on linux

2020-11-11 21:31 Roy imported from Stackoverflow

When I run my tests locally chrome driver manager prints 'Starting ChromeDriver 86.0.4240.22' but when the tests run on aws in linux server it prints 'Starting ChromeDriver 85.0.4183.87'. Why it happens? How can make the tests run with chromedriver 86?

Can not find file that is in resource folder - java
I have a question regarding file handling. I automate a page using selenium, and I need to upload a file in this page. I want to put the file in resource folder and read it's path in the test (since many OS and path will be different to any computer WIN/MAC).

I put the file manually in the resource folder, and it put it in:
```
X:\Project_11_01_2021\src\test\resources
```
when I used the ClassLoader and try to find the file it not found it, I saw that if I manually put it in this path it find it, found.
```
X:\Project_11_01_2021\out\test\resources
```
the problem is that I am using git and if I add to the resources it upload to git and every one will get the change, and when I put in out\test\resources it is not displayed in the source tree to commit to git. is their a way that classLoader will search in the first location? and not in the second?

[][path that worked]

Can not get file path from resource folder - Java
I try to automate a page that I have. In the page I need to upload a PDF file. The problem is that I want selenium via java will get the file from the resource of the project and not hard coded. (since some have windows and some mac and some ubonto so the solution is to get the path dynamically).

I manually hard coded I enter the path it worked and return the path, however to let java return the path it crash. this is my code:
```
  /******* test *******/
    public  void testFileUpload() throws Exception {
        WebDriver deiver2 = getWebDriver();
      

        Thread.sleep(3000);
        deiver2.switchTo()
                .activeElement();
        deiver2.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@type='file']"))
        .sendKeys(
                "X:\\project\\src\\test\\resources\\TAX12.pdf");

        ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
        String path = classLoader.getResource("TAX12.pdf").getPath();
        System.out.println("\n\n path is  " + path);

        System.out.println("END");

    }
```
I want in the send keys to send the file, the exists however it is not worked. get null exception

the file exists in the folder and worked if manually set the path, but not locate the file if I want it to do it by himself (for win / mac / linux etc)

webdriver-manager and chromedriver breaks protractor test on MacOS

Background: I have a protractor testing bed on macOS 10.15.3 on a 2018 Mac mini with Intel Core i5 and it's been used to test a reactjs application with a nightly Jenkins pipeline. It's been running for months. On Jan-6-2021 evening, the test started failing with unknown system error as shown in log and screenshot below.

This problem has taken me and team hours to troubleshoot and figured that I will share my findings in case people who encounter the same issue can find a resolution without wasting time.

Error in the log spawn Unknown system error -86

Cause Ever since Google starts including support for Mac M1 driver, webdriver-manager somehow treats the M1 driver as default on macOS regardless you have a x86 or M1 system.

Resolution

Upgrade webdriver-manager to 12.1.8: the webdriver-manager team reacted quickly and they have released a new version to address the issue as per https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/issues/476. In short, the issue will resolve itself after you upgrade webdriver-manager to 12.1.8. Make sure check your package.json, package-lock.json and update them if necessary.
In case you cannot upgrade webdriver-manager for whatever reason, simply replace M1 driver with x86 driver. It will work until you can upgrade webdriver-manager. You can find the chromedriver download at https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/

How can I download Appropriate Chromedriver in Protractor using Webdriver-Manager

I have designed a cucumber-protractor based automation framework where everything is working fine except for the Webdriver-manager. I need to update the binaries manually each time the IT Department updates google chrome version.

When i use command "webdriver-manager update --proxy=http://someproxy.com:PORT#", webdriver-manager always downloads the latest chromdriver binaries instead of a compatible version as per the current Chrome Version.

Please help me if there is a way to determine the chrome version automatically and download the corresponding Chrome binaries.

I have tried to search for similar behavior and forums elsewhere but none of the commands work. Instead it always downloads the latest version of chromedriver binaries instead of a compatible one.

Please help with some sample code in-case you come through a solution to this.

Error using webdriver-manager with pyinstaller

My webdriver-manager worked perfectly but when I made .exe file with pyinstaller I got error below. I find out that if I won't put --noconsole to pyinstaller command it will work but with --noconsole the program isn't working. Here is my code:

from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
driver.quit()

Here is how I created .exe file with pyinstaller:

pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole script.py

Here is the error which I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "script.py", line 797, in program2

Thanks for help!
