Selenium webdriver chrome 115 stopped working

[shubhamgrg04]

Description

The framework is failing for a new installation as it is not able to find ChromeDriver as it only goes up to version 114 due to driver restructuring by the Chromium Team for the new Chrome-for-Testing.

Steps to Reproduce

• Try using the framework on a newer project with Chrome version of 115 or above.

This is a Temporary Bug due which occurs in Chrome 115 due to chromedriver-autoinstaller dependency. The fix is to:

1. Go to https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable and download "chrome driver" based on your chrome version. (Most likely 115)

2. Extract the zip file

3. Place the "chromedriver" file (or "chromedriver.exe" if you are using Windows) directly into the build/ folder. Make sure you're not placing the extracted folder but only the chrome driver file itself.

   

4. Run python main.py and program should run successfully.

Fixed in latest version
