ChromeDriver setup fails

christianbaumann · 22 February 2024 07:03

Hey all,

trying to follow the code examples in 2.3.3 Implementing a Basic Check, but it fails when trying to setup the ChromeDriver, at this line: WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

Console Output:

I’m on Windows 11, using Java Corretto 21.

As a workaround I used the FirefoxDriver:

WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

I couldn’t reproduce this, but a google of the error indicates it might have to do with the WebDriverManger version. The latest version is 5.7.0, so could you try with that.
My problem was it not picking up the correct chromedriver for my browser version, so I also had to follow the instructions in this WebDriverManager help section. You may want to try this too.

nitish1022 · 23 February 2024 01:59

I am getting the Same, Tried after updating the WebdriverManager veron from POM file also.

nitish1022 · 23 February 2024 02:18

Try this code, It worked for me

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().clearDriverCache().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();

christianbaumann · 23 February 2024 06:27

Thanks Andrew!

Updating WebDriverManager to 5.7.0 didn’t solve the problem.

Using WebDriverManager.chromedriver().clearDriverCache().setup(); open a new Chrome tab in an already opened Chrome instance (see screenshot), and results in a differend error message:

None of this looks too familiar to me, but whennever I have problems with Chromedriver, its because Google has updated to Chrome and it no longer works with my chromedriver. I think this is deliberate - Firefox/geckodriver seem more forgiving.

Edit: So getting the latest chromedriver might help.

christianbaumann · 25 February 2024 17:31

Hey Jason,

that’s exactly what the WebDriverManager library is about: It ensures, that you always have the right webdriver for your browser version; it downloads the right webdriver automatically.

You can find more info on the github repo: GitHub - bonigarcia/webdrivermanager: Automated driver management and other helper features for Selenium WebDriver in Java

Cheers,
Chriss

conrad.braam · 27 February 2024 08:17

only ever used this lib on Python, and found myself debugging it and eventually writing a cache refresh wrapper around it to kill the webdriver cache which is in a hard-coded-ish location to force refreshes every 24 hours by storing a timer. Guessing though because my java skills are pretty poor, that deleting the cache may help along with adding traces to the lib to prove that it’s fetching the correct driver after google changed the metadata format on the index for chromedrivers when they took over the project. (This was so long ago, that if your driver-manager version is old, it’s going to be obvious though.)

Hi Christian,

I had the same issue but the problem was the url, I wrote the url like this:
www.google.com
When it should be like this:
https://www.google.com/

I hope this works for you

christianbaumann · 22 March 2024 20:16

It fails already before opening a site, so that’s not the issue.
