Probing "latest" version of chromedriver fails to pick up the newest version. #14

Currently the latest version of chromedriver is: 73.0.3683.20 But installing latest still downloads: 2.46

Check why and fix

rasjani commented 5 years ago

For future reference, it seems that chromedriver has 2 separate release versioning schemes.. One for per browser version which usually have support for multiple (3) browser versions, for example current 2.46 supports chrome 71 thru 73 but then there's separate release which is only intended for explicit browser version.

One can explicitly request to install version like webdrivermanager chrome:73.0.3683.20 and it can be installed but querying "latest" yields the more generic version 2.46 ..

nobody seems to have been bugging about this, closing..

There is a change that if there is a release for one platform that has higher version number than what is been tried to be downloaded, downloading will fail but .. lets see, reopening if needed
