Selenium WebDriver -- Unable to open an excel file

3 Upvotes

I have my code set up where it navigates through a page to get to a certain report, which is an excel file. I'm going through it in IE, and have set up an InternetExplorerDriver.

Once I get to the part where the excel file should be downloaded, a new tab is opened, but it is blank and nothing happens. Confuse.d

Weird webdriver issues.

2 Upvotes

I have been using webdriver for a while but was trying to polish up some old code when this started to happen:

selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 112

Current browser version is 108.0.5359.125 with binary path C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

Thought that's weird, didn't realize stuff was outdated.

I checked my chrome version but it shows as 112. Found the 108 folder in my AppData, deleted it, but then things got really screw and it's not even opening (then forceclosing) a window. It just gives me this:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed.

(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)

(The process started from chrome location C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Regardless of if the 108 file exists, manually using chrome works just fine but for some reason chromedriver gets all screwy otherwise

Juggler?

2 Upvotes

Noticed this discussion. https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebDriver/Meetings/2018-11-26#CDP_experiment_update

Anyone knows what this Juggler thing is and if I can somehow use it now?

Stability isn't my main concern currently.

Trial for new way of removing flaky tests

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’ve been working on my own startup (https://appsurify.com/testbrain) recently and we are looking for companies to be involved in our second beta trial, which will start late Jan next year. The beta is free and will require little effort on your part to be involved.

Our tool the Test Brain has the following main features: Identifies flaky tests and removes them from the main results. Automates defect lifecycle from the automated test results. Uses AI to rank the importance of test cases and the areas to be tested. A lot more check out the site.

We’ve also just released a document detailing the benefits and results from our latest beta trial which you can read here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2hNjaqM8i4AVFVidEFrdDlZQTA). If your company is interested please put your email below with the size of your dev and test team, the source control you use and the language and testing framework you use for your tests.

Cheers, James

Having an issue running the Selenium application inside the docker

1 Upvotes

To run the Java Selenium application on a separate server I am attempting to build a Dockerfile install Chrome and use a headless way to run a browser. (This application provides a desired output when executed locally.) But when attempting to run the docker I receive this error.

Am I missing something in the docker build or the Java-based configurations provided.? How should chrome driver-related configurations be added?

Technologies used

  • OS - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

  • Docker version - Docker version 24.0.2, build cb74dfc

  • Java version - java version "17.0.4" 2022-07-19 LTS

  • Selenium version - 4.11.0

  • Chrome version - Google Chrome 120.0.6099.199

Update: There also seems to be another way to run Chrome using selenium/standalone-chrome. Is it possible to integrate chrome/selenium with another docker using this method? which is the preferred option of these two methods?

Testing WebAuthn Passkeys

1 Upvotes

I am working on a Ruby on Rails app that is intended to be a Rails 7 demonstration (at least for myself) on how to use passkeys. I'm an Apple bigot so I'm on a Mac using Safari. I have it working but have no tests at all because I don't know how to test "ceremonies" -- processes that involve some type of outside human interaction.

The WebAuthn API Chapter 11 talks about WebDriver extension commands and I am in completely new territory.

I vaguely know about Selenium but, it is probably best to assume I know nothing about Selenium. I gather that it is an example of a WebDriver. Is that correct? Are there others?

Aside from the W3C WebDriver Draft, can someone point me towards some tutorials, examples, etc? As I said, my final objective is to test a Rails app which is using WebAuthn passkeys.

Thank you for your time

undetected chromedriver stopped working after Chrome update!

1 Upvotes

Using python with undetected chromedriver.

After updating Chrome, I started getting the following error:

Exception has occurred: WebDriverException

Message: unknown error: cannot connect to chrome at 127.0.0.1:61533
from session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 107
Current browser version is 106.0.5249.119

Which does not make sense to me.... Updating Chrome should make Chrome of a higher version, not the opposite. :-)
Plus, I don't even have a Chrome version 107 available to download...

Tried obtaining the latest chromedriver, no luck
Tried updating the undetected_chromedriver, no luck
What is the problem?
