Naveen, thanks for pioneering these latest updates from Selenium and Chrome. As well as raising those bugs. Your commitment to test automation is awesome. keep it up

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Thank you 🙏

[@MohammedHowlader]

Hi Naveen! This is Mohammed Howlader from New York. I can't wait to offer my acknowledgement to you. It's an imaginary tutorial released by you. Last week I was not able to execute my script at my work. I was searching for a solution in KZbin and Google. I found your video. Such an inspirational work done by you. I used your code in scripts and it worked. Thank you Naveen. Please keep producing new videos like this. By the way , I have found more videos created by you that cleared my blockers previously. I personally salute your teachings. -Mohammed

[@ashwinigadekar3604]

thank you for your timely updates Naveen on different automation issues .

Awesome effort Naveen! You smoothly eliminated months of struggle with the Google driver shell game. Much appreciated that I can get back to productive coding instrad of Band-aiding my scrapers.

Thanks Richard. Glad that it is helpful.

@Naveen, Thank you and very informative, appreciate your dedicated and effort to provide information on latest changes on selenium.

[@deep80105]

Thanks for the video. Gave much clarity around Chrome for testing things going around nowadays

[@RajibLama]

Thank you Naveen for beautifully explanation about CFT browser. ❤❤

[@RahulKumar-iv4tf]

Thanks Naveen for demonstrating CFT related change in new selenium versions. We generally test our application on stable version of chrome browser, why we need Future chrome browser to test the application. Please create seperate video on this. Thanks against

[@GurudattaPraharaj]

Thanks Naveen, Could you please let us know docker impact ? Do we need any code changes ?

[@ajayvavhal16]

Hello Naveen, No need to downlod CFT 115 version on your machine, just used set binary and passed the version i.e. 115 and run. CFT browser will open current version which is downloaded on your machine.. I have tried the same and it works.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Please watch the full use case. If you need to run script on CFT chrome with 115. You have to download it and set the binary else it will be always open the regular 115 browser.

[@ajayvavhal16]

@@naveenautomationlabs Yes, watched fully video, and I haven't downloaded CFT of current version, I simply wrote op.SetBinary(115) and passing current version which I have and run, then CFT browser opened.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Then it should not as per selenium team.

[@shubhamagarwal4278]

Thanks Naveen for clearing this out. I am facing NoSuchDriverExceptiom issue with the same code due to woking in the Proxy environment. Any solution for this ?

[@ArjunSingh-wg4ig]

Hi Navin, what would be the role of WebDriverManger library now, will they also release WDM new version as per latest selenium 4.11.0 or we can rely on SeleniumManager directly.

[@pspiro]

Thank you for saving me tons of time

[@SimplicityVlogs]

Hi Naveen, I'm using serenity bdd cucumber... For that also I'm facing issue ...what changes I need to do?

[@samchannel2125]

Hi Navin, can we achieve the same result using serenity if so please let me know how can I handle the upgrade in browser so that it handlee the driver version

[@vaishnavikulkarni5117]

Thank you so much naveen sir👍

[@sreejishnu8226]

Hi Naveen, thanks for the video. Have a question here, we are using selenium 3.141.59 , java 8 and wevdrivermanager 5.3.3 for automated driver management. So now our tests are failing as the chrome on the machine is v116 and tests uses chromedriver 114 and thus browser get closed as soon as it is invoked. At this moment, we dont want to upgrade selenium to 4.11.0, but how do we make the tests to run fine in this case? Note I have tried upgrading webdrivermanagee to 5.4.1, but it looks like it needs java 11. Your thoughts please. Thanks.

[@misakirachu]

Facing the same issue. One possible option is to downgrade the chrome version on the machine to v114 or below. Then it shouldn't have any problem. But eventually you would have to consider upgrading everything

[@kushagranalwaya]

How to call browser version in Python? I tried co.setBrowserVersion(“116”) it says: ‘Options’ object has no attribute ‘setBrowserVersion’. Did you mean: ‘browser_version’? So I tired using ‘browser_version’ which now throws an error: TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object is not callable Also, I checked the official documentation of python, for browser version it says to use ‘browserVersion’ but unfortunately it shows the same error: ‘Options’ object has no attribute ‘browserVersion’. Did you mean: ‘browser_version’? Can you please help?

[@BugHunterMdSam]

Thanks for the clear demonstration.

[@mizanur968]

Great information, loved it. btw will this work on Selenium grid? Can you please share how to use this in the node machine? Thanks in advance.

[@mizanur968]

nvm, I got the answer, Yes this will work on Selenium grid and we have to use below command in the node machine: java -jar selenium-server-4.11.0.jar node --max-sessions 1 --selenium-manager true --publish-events tcp://{hub-ip-address}:4442 --subscribe-events tcp://{hub-ip-address}:4443

[@alexandrutosa4292]

Hi Naveen! Will this work with apple silicone Macs?

[@online_business_pokhara]

So you mean From. Now we don't need to download chromedriver manually each time new chrome driver is available on chromium web page ??? Is selenium manager a different package or selenium manager comes while pip install selenium

[@naveenautomationlabs]

This feature was already there since Selenium 4.6.0 with Selenium Manager. SM is the inbuilt native feature of Selenium. It will manage all the drivers automatically. No need to download.

[@jissgeorge6001]

Thanks for the information Naveen. This is working fine for me in mac and windows os but in linux I am facing chrome crash error. Is there any issue with linux

[@SmarakRanjanRout]

Very informative, with WDM we have the option to set the proxy so that binary gets downloaded. With the Selenium Manager is there any way where we can set the proxy so that the browser binaries gets downloaded behind the proxy firewall?

[@naveenautomationlabs]

I think this is still in progress. github.com/orgs/SeleniumHQ/projects/5/views/1

[@sujeetkumar-dt7xk]

Excellent explanation 😊

[@swarytamberker]

Thanks for the video Naveen. It is informative as always. Question- I am still using Selenium 3 in my project and WebDriverManager to manage my driver versions. It looks like WDM is ineffective with introduction of CFT. So does it mean I have to upgrade to Selenium 4 inevitably if I have to manage my drivers?

[@naveenautomationlabs]

Yes, WDM is not having this feature as of now. So better to upgrade it to 4.11.0 version

[@mohatShil]

What about playwright and cypress using cft? On playwright it automatically updated to 115.x if you can kindly clarify that. Appreciate your work :)

[@naveenautomationlabs]

PW doesn't use drivers. But CFT should be applied on PW as well. I'll prepare a separate video on this.

[@RajaRam-id6sl]

Hi Naveen, Does Selenium Manager 4.11 will work with Java 8 ? or Do we need to upgrade to Java 11

Hi Naveen, I just tried this today, my regular Chrome version is 116. I wanted to launch CFT browser. I downloaded the Chrome Binary as well and gave the path in setBinary as well, but this is still launching the regular browser. Am i doing something wrong. My Selenium version is latest, 4.11.0 as well.

Hey Naveen, I am trying to use 115 chrome version(headless mode) with java 17 in AWS EC2 linux instance , but it is throwing me error that element not found (sign in google button). I tried many times sometimes it matches the element , sometimes it doesnt. Did you ever encounter any situation like this ?? Please let me know as I am stuck from many days trying to figure out what could be the issue with headless chrome. in linux but not able to find anything. (PS- my code is working fine in linux system , and my local machine. It is just linux jenkins where it is not able to detect the signin button)

Hello Naveen , I am using the old Selenium version 3.141.59 . Last week i was unable to run tests on chrome version 115.0.5790.99 so i decided to upgrade to Selenium 4.11.0 but today i noticed that i am able to run tests on chrome version 115.0.5790.99. Any possible reasons ? Have they made the version 3.141.59 compatible with Chrome v. 115?

Nope. You please check your selenium version as if you really have 3.141 it may be 4.11.

Hi Naveen, thanks for this latest update. Question- I am using selenium manager but when I execute my script, chromedriver exe file is not automatically getting generating in path "C:\Users\Admin\.cache\selenium". Because of that not able to launch chrome version. Getting error "org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService findExecutable WARNING: Unable to obtain driver using Selenium Manager: Error running command: [C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp\selenium-manager14830861289925001959182970292188511\selenium-manager.exe, --driver, chromedriver]". It works for Firefox browser perfectly. Facing issue for Chrome browser only. Could you please help me to solve this ?

I am facing a big problem with jenkins when i am using SeleniumManager. It downloads chromedriver exe into jenkins .cache folder and null pointer execption occurs....When i run it locally it works smoothly.

[@surwase1]

@Naveen - It may be working for normal WebDriver but it is not working for ThreadLocal driver. Please check yourself and with Selenium Team. ChromeOptions opt = new ChromeOptions(); opt.setBrowserVersion("115"); DriverManager.setDriver(new ChromeDriver(opt)); private static ThreadLocal dr = new ThreadLocal(); public static void setDriver(WebDriver driverref) { dr.set(driverref); dr.get().manage().window().maximize(); }
