Wrong chromedriver executable for the Selenium.IDE-4.0.1-alpha.*.exe

[jiakai-1]

Hello, I am having problems booting with seleniumide4.0.1 in windows，Startup error： Unable to startup due to chromedriver error: Missing executable at path mypath\selenium-ide\resource..chromedriver-v.exe.

I have observed similar issues in the community, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of windows fixes issue

I switched to another windwos computer and it still has this warning

[jiakai-1]

After much trial and error, I placed the default seleniumide folder on drive D and saw a detailed error that the chromedriver-v.exefile was missing in selenium-ide\resources\app.asar.unpacked\files I moved chromedriver.exe to the corresponding directory and changed the name to chromedriver-v.exe. seleniumide started normally。 Although the problem has been solved, I am still wondering why the chromedriver-v.exe message is missing。

I think it would be good to keep this issue open, other Windows users might run into the same issue. Sounds to me like it might be a general problem that the paths are wrong.

Yep! Keep it open! I will double check that I didn't break the chromedriver path on binary releases. I made some slight tweaks to the pathing system for npm based installs, and I thought it would be better, but perhaps that's not the case.

Hey everyone, this was my bad and is resolved in latest! Should be fine on Windows. Basically, I've started adding experimental support (still v broken) for custom drivers via the bidi API. Previously, this was hard coded to Electron. However, my persisted store defaults are set to chrome with no version, not electron. I corrected those to electron, and added a startup fallback path where if it fails to load a non-standard driver and fails, it will set the driver state to the builtin electron driver, and instantiate from that. Sorry all!

Hey @toddtarsi , I checked this issue in latest release [4.0.1-alpha.70-windows] Now able to launch IDE able to create a project but when i try to record a test or when i try to run an exsisting script web driver error occured .

"Error occurred in handler for 'recorder.start':", Error: ECONNREFUSED connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9516 at ClientRequest. (C:\Users***\AppData\Local\Programs\selenium-ide\resources\app.asar\build\webpack:\node_modules.pnpm\selenium-webdriver@4.16.0\node_modules\selenium-webdriver\http\index.js:296:15) at ClientRequest.emit (node:events:517:28)

@jiakai-1 @blutorange @mrgamedev07 - My mistake! I had a fallback thing that ran here, but I basically was using try/catch when I needed to do a kinda cb(error) type of deal. x.71 going out now and it should reset to electron without issue. I made sure to replicate locally and playback seemed alright. Sorry about that and thank you for the heads up!

[toddtarsi]

@jiakai-1 @blutorange @mrgamedev07 - Hey all, just wanted to check in here and see if any of you had a chance to test? Things should be good for windows. Just pushing a fix now to make re-running recorder and playback after closing windows more stable 🙂

I can only speak for Ubuntu, the latest alpha-71 for Linux seems to be working fine. Recording also works, although I get the following error (probably unrelated to this issue?) when I make a right-click in the recording window (e.g. to add an assertion):

@toddtarsi , now windows is good

[toddtarsi]

Awesome!

@mrgamedev07 - Thank you for testing. @blutorange - Same to you. I made a new issue for context menu assertions. I'll look into that later, thanks for letting me know!
