  • RE: Web Browser driver upgrade failed

    Mon, 16 Oct 2023 11:55:38 GMT – Web Browser driver upgrade failed

    Error message: Could not determine browser version.

    You have to update the Chrome EXE driver note- I am using Automate version 22

    Go to https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/

    Find the Stable Version - click on Stable link

    Go to chromedriver win32 - follow the link that they provide

    chromedriver

    win32

    https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/118.0.5993.70/win32/chromedriver-win32.zip

     

    From <https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable>

     

    Download the Zipped file.

    Unzip the file

    Take over to where your Automate is installed - for me my server

    Place the chromedriver.exe here:

    C:\ProgramData\AutoMate\WebDrivers

    You will see an older chromedriver.exe here - I rename this one to chromedriver-old.exe first to save this.  Just in case.

    For me I don’t have to reboot the Automate server and my Chrome Type Tasks now run.

    Update - this happened to us today - 8/17/23
    I had to add the new 64 bit version of Chrome EXE driver for Chrome version 116
    Downloaded from here
    https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable - using bottom URL
    https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/116.0.5845.96/win64/chromedriver-win64.zip

    Unzip the file and put the Chrome EXE in 
    C:\ProgramData\AutoMate\WebDrivers
    NOTE: for a backup I renamed the old Web driver -old

    Once I did this my error message stopped.
    I hope this helps anyone else!
