Unable to download the chrome webdriver from company VPN while using the managedWebDriver of serenity

[poojaBjAcharya]

Hi John,

It is a privilege for me to write an email. What a tool this serenity is!! Hats of to you guys. In our organization people are very happy.

Coming back to the issue. Currently with the latest serenity I see that we are not able to download the chrome driver in the VPN. once I come out of the VPN I am able to download. Is there any way to add the proxy and go over it to download the webdriver?

Below is the log for the same:

Try using proxy for auto download, pass the below command from run config. -Dwdm.proxy=proxyServer -Dwdm.proxyUser=companyUserName -Dwdm.proxyPass=password

With the above also I am facing the same issue. Any help please?

[onlybiju]

Can you paste here what you have tried you can mask userId and Password

[poojaBjAcharya]

Hi Sir, thanks for the reply.

I have provided like this

-Dwdm.proxy=10.158.100.6:8080 clean install

our proxy doesn't need username and password.

[onlybiju]

you have missed to append http / https, try http://10.158.100.6:8080

Hi Sir,

Thanks for providing a quick check.

I have provided like below now -Dwdm.proxy=https://10.158.100.6:8080 clean install

But still no luck. I tried with http also, but unfortunately it is not working.

Any thing else I missing sir?

At this moment I only suspect your VPN is not allowing you to download the web driver. You must authenticate, try sending your windows username and password and see if you can download. -Dwdm.proxyUser=windowsId -Dwdm.proxyPass=password
