WebDriverManagerException: A response error is detected: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

[Alphyra]

Hello,

I faced with error when run test:

io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManagerException: io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManagerException: A response error is detected: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

Driver was not run. Can the reason be in my IP?

Thank you.

Edit: Ok, In my case it was caused by an internal proxy which I had configured. @Alphyra Maybe you could check if you have a proxy configured as well?

Same for me on OperaDriver. Works well on chrome

Hi @Alphyra

Are you inside the corporate environment in that case you have to configure the webdrivermanager with the proper configuration,

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().arch32().browserVersion("81.0.4044.138").proxy(proxyUrl)
                        .proxyUser(userId).proxyPass(userPass).setup();

proxyUrl--> is the url for proxy for your company userid--> in my case is my windows id for the company password --> in my case is the password I use to login to windows

Hope this can give you some idea :)

Any suggestion about how configure the GITHUBTOKEN environment variable? Tried to add it to mine as a secret but GitHub refuses to accept variables beginning with GITHUB.

Failed to add secret. Secret names must not start with GITHUB_.
