WebDriver UDF - Help & Support (IV)

[Danp2]

You can't share the same browser profile from two separate instances of the browser. Close your existing browser instance and your problems are likely solved.

P.S. You could try copying the profile so that you have a separate one to use with the webdriver

The profile still isn't working. I went ahead and just saved this password under the guest account.

Try it like this --

_WD_CapabilitiesAdd('args', "user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\" & @UserName & "\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data")

Why you use duplicated backslashes ? From my experience: the JSON will be put to WebDriver and will be changed internally by UDF. If I'm wrong please explain.

@mLipok That's how it's shown on the wiki, so just following directions. 😜

[CodeWriter]

@Danp2FYI, your WebDriver UDF version 1.0.1 in GitHub doesn’t match the version number in your code, causing _WD_IsLatestRelease() to always return “False”.

[Danp2]

@CodeWriterThanks for the heads up. I've released another update to fix this.

    _WD_Startup: Webdriver UDF: 1.0.2 (Up to date)

Hi all,

Is there a way for the webdriver UDF to determine when the chromedriver is too new for the installed version of Chrome. Meaning so a message box will display "Please Update Your Version of Chrome"

I get an error 10 using:

 

$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
    If @error Then MsgBox( $MB_ICONWARNING, "Error Creating Session", $_WD_ERROR_Exception)

 

I see this in the debug info but not sure how to extract the more specific information about the error to a variable that I can use in the gui:

 

_WD_CreateSession: {"value":{"error":"session not created","message":"session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 114\nCurrent browser version is 113.0.5672.129 with binary path C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe","stacktrace":"Backtrace:\n\tGetHandleVerifier [0x0043A813+48355]\n\t(No symbol) [0x003CC4B1]\n\t(No symbol) [0x002D5358]\n\t(No symbol) [0x002F61AC]\n\t(No symbol) [0x002F1EF3]\n\t(No symbol) [0x002F0579]\n\t(No symbol) [0x00320C55]\n\t(No symbol) [0x0032093C]\n\t(No symbol) [0x0031A536]\n\t(No symbol) [0x002F82DC]\n\t(No symbol) [0x002F93DD]\n\tGetHandleVerifier [0x0069AABD+2539405]\n\tGetHandleVerifier [0x006DA78F+2800735]\n\tGetHandleVerifier [0x006D456C+2775612]\n\tGetHandleVerifier [0x004C51E0+616112]\n\t(No symbol) [0x003D5F8C]\n\t(No symbol) [0x003D2328]\n\t(No symbol) [0x003D240B]\n\t(No symbol) [0x003C4FF7]\n\tBaseThreadInitThunk [0x75D1FA29+25]\n\tRtlGetAppContainerNamedObjectPath [0x776B7BBE+286]\n\tRtlGetAppContainerNamedObjectPath [0x776B7B8E+238]\n"}}

Thanks!

@NassauSky Take a look at _WD_LastHTTPResponse, which should give you the above output. I think that we could enhance _WD_UpdateDriver so that it will optionally downgrade the webdriver when a mismatch is identified. Additional details could also be provided when $bForce = Null.

@Danp2 for such reason I asked it here:

https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver/pull/477#issuecomment-1574798767

 

[Danp2]

@mLipok Those aren't the same scenarios. However, we could temporarily offer the ability to download older instances of Chromedriver from the original site.

[Danp2]

@NassauSky Take a look at this PR for the requested changes to _WD_UpdateDriver.

Let me know if you get a chance to test it.

[NassauSky]

Thanks @Danp2

Nice to have that new feature and I don't know if that would help in my situation but I'll have to think about how I can use that.  My app is on a server. When one of the users update their Chrome Browser, the script updates the ChromeDriver on the server and then all the other users who still have an old browser installed can no longer run the app.  I don't think it makes sense to ask Autoit to put an older version in the server.

As far as the nice GitHub update you made, for now I tested the code by uninstalling my newer chrome and installing an older chrome.   Something still might be wrong with the output. I left notes in GitHub.  Basically it doesn't seem to be reading the current version of the chromedriver.exe I have installed yet for some reason it seems to be displaying the Chrome Browser version where it says driver version.

@NassauSky Thanks for the feedback. I've replied on GH so lets continue the discussion there. As far as your other issue, have you considered installing Chromedriver locally instead of on the server? That would allow each user to run a version that matches their local browser version.

[NassauSky]

Great @Danp2

Looks good I tested your updated code again.

The update looks good and it does downgrade the chromedriver.exe using information from the correct directory if necessary.

#include ".\Required\wd_helper.au3"
#include ".\Required\wd_core.au3"

$sBrowser = 'chrome'
$bResult = _WD_UpdateDriver($sBrowser, @ScriptDir & ".\Required", Default, True, True) ;Last 2 params Force update, Force downgrade
;### Debug CONSOLE ↓↓↓
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $bResult = ' & $bResult & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF)

;--- Test the downgrade

Global $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"unhandledPromptBehavior": "ignore", "goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "excludeSwitches": ["enable-automation"],' & _
                        '"useAutomationExtension": false, "prefs": {"credentials_enable_service": false}, "args": ["window-size='&@DesktopWidth-900&','&@DesktopHeight-34&'","window-position=500,0"] }}}}'

_WD_Option('Driver', '.\Required\chromedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--verbose --log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\Required\chrome.log"')
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)
If @error Then
   MsgBox( $MB_TOPMOST, "Error Creating Session... Exiting", "Check your debug logs")
   Exit
EndIf
_WD_Navigate($sSession,"https://www.google.com")

I have that, how to turn off password saver?

I use Chrome and my setup here:

Func _SetupChrome()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')
    $sCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "args": [ ' & """start-maximized""," & " ""disable-infobargs""" & "" & '], "excludeSwitches": ["enable-automation"]}}}}'
    Return $sCapabilities
EndFunc

Take a look at wd_demo.au3 and start using _WD_Capabilities*() functions.

I'm noob. I tryed to use _WD_Capabilities*() functions but do not work, but when i use $sCapabilities for SetupChrome that works 😅

[mLipok]

btw.
I encourage you to watch: https://github.com/mlipok/Au3WebDriver-testing

EDIT1:
There is modified "maximized"

Func SetupChrome($bHeadless, $s_Download_dir = '', $bLogToFile = False)

EDIT2:
I just rename this function on my GitHub repro.

Func _WD_SetupChrome($bHeadless, $s_Download_dir = '', $bLogToFile = False)
