`install-chromedriver` is broken for Chrome >= 115 which is stable and latest release today

[bericp1]

Orb version

circleci/browser-tools@1.4.1 (latest as of writing)

What happened

chromedriver install fails:

This is because the chromedriver team migrated to a new set of JSON APIs for >=115

Expected behavior

I think i'm on latest? https://github.com/OHIF/Viewers/blob/master/.circleci/config.yml I don't specify it really

I think it's the cypress orb that's out of date https://github.com/cypress-io/circleci-orb/blob/0aa1d98771c497bc17d5be3def522a2ab5f88013/src/%40orb.yml#L10

This solution may not work if you are using MacOS, but we upgraded our browser tools to 1.4.2 (browser-tools: circleci/browser-tools@1.4.2) and removed the explicit browser-tools/install-browser-tools: #chrome-version: 114.0.5735.90 lines and this resolved the issue for us.

Google appears to have made several changes to Chrome versions yesterday (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2024/) though I was unable to find a reference to version 114.

@artemgurzhii @craigd-lumin

Make sure you are using a more recent version of browser-tools. I'm using circleci/browser-tools@1.4.8. I had to begin using Chrome v116.0.5845.96 or greater:

- browser-tools/install-chrome:
    chrome-version: "116.0.5845.96"

The problem is these old versions are removed from Google's mirrors. This version will likely be removed in the next month or so. I had assumed the new versions of browser-tools would resolve this issue, but I guess not.

We experienced this issue frequently. The following implementation has been stable. Specific chrome versions are hit or miss as Google doesn't consistently maintain availability.

orbs:
  browser-tools: circleci/browser-tools@1.4.6

    steps:
      - attach_workspace:
          at: /your/workspace
      - browser-tools/install-chrome
      - run:

            google-chrome --version
          name: Check install
      - checkout

@adamdupuis thank you for help! we were having browser-tools: circleci/browser-tools@1.4.2 and chrome-version: 114.0.5735.90, replaced with browser-tools: circleci/browser-tools@1.4.8 and chrome-version: 116.0.5845.96, works fine now!

Thanks for the help @adamdupuis , much appreciated!

Our team ran into this and no matter what version we tried, no chrome version listed on chrome driver downloads would resolve. The solution I came up with was to swap out the install section with the following script for debian environments:

      - run: |
          echo 'deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chrome.list
          wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable
