Just one question, when I try to get the driver pathe using " String chromePath= SeleniumManager.getInstance().getDriverPath("chromedriver"); " , it ask me to pass Capability instead of String parameter. Can you please tell me why? Note:- I am using 4.9 version now, when I use 4.6 it works fine!

[@subhransupanda7052]

Thanks Naveen ..it's working fine for selenium Java ..Anyone tried this selenium with C# language binding ..Could anyone help me to achive this using selenium with C# for edge browser..

[@sz3uz]

Hi Naveen, As soon as 4.6.0 dependencies are added in pom.xml file Maven dependencies was getting disappeared under project. I tried to update project, Relaunch Eclipse no help.. Please suggest Now, when i try changing to 4.3.0, Maven dependencies are visible under project . How to resolve this issue

[@zivsivron]

Hi thanks for sharing this video, one question, will this work in an “on premise” environment shielded from the outside world with no possible way to download files freely? I.e , I’m working in an organization that manages the edge browser on all computers in a internal system because of security concerns. Will this fact dictate that I must download manually the files ever time or does this feature have capabilities to address these kind of issues?

[@LivLiveLegends]

These New update changes whole scripting..now i cant even execute chrom it closes at once or get stuck with Data on tab....spent whole days finding fix but still same issue and no help.

hello sir I am new in selenium automation please guide me. is this video is enough to start automation ??? mean, i need to start automation in Java. for complete setup which thing i install at my laptop?? please reply me I am waiting for you help

[@soumyajit443]

I have not yet created a maven project on my old laptop and have not used selenium 4.6 yet. I was using WebdriverManager till today. But I still see that the respective browser drivers are downloaded to the path. For example - C:\Users ath_s\.cache\selenium\chromedriver\win32 It has folders such as '101.0.4951.41' and chromedriver.exe in each. So what does selenium manager.exe does exactly.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

C:\Users ath_s\.cache\selenium\chromedriver\win32 --- this is the cache folder maintained by webdrivermanager not by selenium-manager.

[@amittech3]

How we can handle capabilities in Selenium 4.6 and above?

[@udaypandey5659]

So now no more webdriver manager.... So sad for bonigracia !

Illegal state exception error facing so how to solve this error

[@AnkitGumber-k7m]

Hi Naveen, I have upgraded the selenium version to 4.6.0 and started using selenium manager. This works fine when I execute tests from my local machine. However, when I run the tests trough Jenkins on remote linux machine then I get the following error. WARNING: Unable to obtain driver using Selenium Manager: Error running command: [/tmp/selenium-manager12628507843922721157034350472031708/selenium-manager, --driver, geckodriver] Any idea how to resolve this issue ?

[@soumyajit443]

Naveen but why should be upgrade to selenium version 4.6 if my project use version 4.1.3 Is it just that I have remove the lines of code in driverfactory class having WebDriverManager.chromedriver.setup() Can you please explain the advantages of upgrading apart from one adv that it will auto download the compatible browser driver in cache folder.

[@naveenautomationlabs]

If you want to get rid of WDM and browser drivers you need to use 4.6.0 version. You wont get this feature in 4.1.3.

Will this works when we want to execute scripts in grid?

Thank you Naveen

[@chamumajety7431]

Thanks for sharing. Will this works when we want to execute scripts in grid?

[@naveenautomationlabs]

On grid, it's not needed. Selenium server and node or dockerized image of the browser will take care of it.
