Chrome 115 - cannot find matching chrome driver

[MarcinVaadin]

Orb version

1.4.2, 1.4.3

What happened

Chrome is being installed:

Google Chrome 115.0.5790.98  has been installed to /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

but it is not matched to download proper chrome driver:

Installed version of Google Chrome is 115.0.5790.98 
ChromeDriver  is already installed

and during tests:

Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 102
Current browser version is 115.0.5790.98 with binary path /usr/bin/google-chrome 

Expected behavior

Proper chrome driver should be installed and used to match browser version

[MarcinVaadin]

Falling back to chrome-version: "114.0.5735.90" as workaround

We're having a similar problem, although for us it cannot download the chromedriver:

Installed version of Google Chrome is 115.0.5790.98 
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

Looking at the ChromeDriver download page it seems as if the process for downloading packages has changed from v115 onwards.

Edit: this issue was unrelated to the original issue and was solved by updating the orb to 1.4.2

@TMMeijers have you updated orb to 1.4.2?

[TMMeijers]

@TMMeijers have you updated orb to 1.4.2?

~Yeah, it's set to 1.4.0 in our config but as 1.4.2 was published this morning our instances started using that.~

@MarcinVaadin actually I misread our output somewhere. Updating the orb to 1.4.2 solved our issue so it was unrelated to yours. I hope your issue is resolved swiftly too. Thanks for your help.

step Install ChromeDriver fails with the following message for me:

@artemgurzhii you should probably update this orb to 1.4.2 as OP suggested to me as well: browser-tools: circleci/browser-tools@1.4.2 in your config

[artemgurzhii]

@TMMeijers it worked! thanks a lot!

Hi @MarcinVaadin This should be fixed with the new orb version 1.4.3.

[MarcinVaadin]

@ryanbourdais fix from 1.4.3 is not used because script ends earlier:

# installation check
if command -v chromedriver >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  if chromedriver --version | grep "$CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "ChromeDriver $CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION is already installed"
    exit 0

it seems like $CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION is empty and it gives false-positive check result.

[MarcinVaadin]

elif [[ $CHROME_RELEASE -lt 115 ]]; then
    CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION=$(curl --silent --show-error --location --fail --retry 3 \
      "https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_$CHROMEDRIVER_RELEASE")
fi

there is no else which would set CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION when version >= 115

[MarcinVaadin]

I cannot push to fix/ branch so that's the diff that works for me locally:

In general I've moved CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION=$(echo $CHROME_VERSION | sed 's/[^0-9.]//g') to else as stated above.

@MarcinVaadin can you provide a build link that shows the orb not working?

[MarcinVaadin]

@ryanbourdais it's private repo build, from logs:

@MarcinVaadin I see the issue now, I have opened PR #85 to resolve this issue, and hopefully button up the issues surrounding chromedriver versions >= 115
