Webdriver-manager deprecation ? #517

bboycs · 2022-11-29T06:31:00Z

As Protractor is going to EOL soon, how about webdriver-manager ?
Can webdrive-manager handover to protractor partner(herodevs) for further maintenance ?

StanislavKharchenko · 2023-02-24T14:51:29Z

As alternatives you can use new library provided by selenium team - selenium - manager

tambor81 · 2023-03-20T12:50:56Z

we have now a CVE-2023-28155 reporting a vulnerability on protractor.
Can these dependencies be updated to not use protractor or use any other vulnerable dependency ?

currently this is clearly shown on :

$ npm audit

It sure looks like webdriver-manager is EOL along with PRotractor. See #524 -- unless 3rd party post-EOL support comes along, the answer to your question is no, the dependencies for webdriver-manager will not be updated. I guess you could always fork it to fix yourself? Or look into the alternative in the second comment here.

If you have Protractor installed globally via npm on Windows 64-bit, you can use these steps

%APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\built\lib\binaries\chrome_xml.js

Replace getLatestChromeDriverVersion function with:

getLatestChromeDriverVersion() {
        const path = require('path')
        const fs = require('fs')

        const lastKnownGoodVersionsWithDownloads_Url = 'https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/last-known-good-versions-with-downloads.json';
        return http_utils_1.requestBody(lastKnownGoodVersionsWithDownloads_Url).then(body => {
            const latestVersion_Body = JSON.parse(body)['channels']['Stable']

            const latestVersion = latestVersion_Body['version']
            const latestVersion_Url = latestVersion_Body['downloads']['chromedriver'].find(obj => obj['platform'] == 'win32')['url']

            const latestMajorVersion = latestVersion.split('.')[0]

            const localVersion_FileName = fs.readdirSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '..', '..', '..', 'selenium'))
                .find(f => f.startsWith(`chromedriver_${latestMajorVersion}`)) || ''
                
            const localVersion = localVersion_FileName.slice(13, -4)
            const localVersion_Url = latestVersion_Url.replace(latestVersion, localVersion)

            const localMajorVersion = localVersion.split('.')[0]

            if (latestMajorVersion == localMajorVersion) {
                return Promise.resolve({
                    url: localVersion_Url,
                    version: localVersion,
                })
            } else {
                return Promise.resolve({
                    url: latestVersion_Url,
                    version: latestVersion,
                })
            }
        });
    }

%APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\protractor\node_modules\webdriver-manager\built\lib\cmds\update.js

Replace line 240 [fs.renameSync(path.resolve(outputDir, binary.zipContentName()), mv);] with:

if (fileName.indexOf('chromedriver_') != -1) {
        fs.renameSync(path.resolve(outputDir, 'chromedriver-win32', binary.zipContentName()), mv)
    } else {
        fs.renameSync(path.resolve(outputDir, binary.zipContentName()), mv);
    }

Finally, do a webdriver-manager update - it should get you to the next Chromedriver major version

Thanks @alexsch01, this worked for me after replacing win32 to linux64 :)

@DavidDudson Thanks, that worked! The other solution didnt work for me on mac eventhough I changed win32 to mac-x64.

This reverts commit 7b4febf.

Hey @DavidDudson ! thanks for this! can you post the code changes you made without the patch output?

Cheers!

I am seeing issues if you set the version in the cli (instead of using latest) but I am trying to solve this now 🤞

- added firefox to the testing suite - partial fix based on angular/webdriver-manager#517 (comment) and patch-package (if you have chrome version that matches latest driver...) - chrome needs to run `--headless` ¯\_(-_-)_/¯

OrangeDog · 2024-05-29T15:51:10Z

@DavidDudson this still does not work for me:

[e2e] (node:27172) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: localVersion_FileName.split(...).at is not a function
[e2e] at .\node_modules\webdriver-manager\built\lib\binaries\chrome_xml.js:104:63

Probably because Node v14 is too old?

Replacing .at(-1) with .pop() should fix it.

Edit:
On a second run on Windows it messes up, thinking that .exe is part of the version:

[e2e] Local File Name chromedriver_125.0.6422.78.exe
[e2e] Local Version 125.0.6422.78.exe

Adding a .replace(/\.exe$/, '') fixes that.

I also removed some of the unnecessary changes and spammy logging:

If someone is looking for the solution to the same problem mentioned by @JordanRieger on Ubuntu Linux, it is here:

/usr/lib/node_modules/webdriver-manager/built/lib/binaries/chrome_xml.js

getLatestChromeDriverVersion() {
const path = require('path')
const fs = require('fs')

    const lastKnownGoodVersionsWithDownloads_Url = 'https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/last-known-good-versions-with-downloads.json';
    return http_utils_1.requestBody(lastKnownGoodVersionsWithDownloads_Url).then(body => {
        const latestVersion_Body = JSON.parse(body)['channels']['Stable']

        const latestVersion = latestVersion_Body['version']
        const latestVersion_Url = latestVersion_Body['downloads']['chromedriver'].find(obj => obj['platform'] == 'linux64')['url']

        const latestMajorVersion = latestVersion.split('.')[0]

        const localVersion_FileName = fs.readdirSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '..', '..', '..', 'selenium'))
            .find(f => f.startsWith(`chromedriver_${latestMajorVersion}`)) || ''
            
        const localVersion = localVersion_FileName.slice(13, -4)
        const localVersion_Url = latestVersion_Url.replace(latestVersion, localVersion)

        const localMajorVersion = localVersion.split('.')[0]

        if (latestMajorVersion == localMajorVersion) {
            return Promise.resolve({
                url: localVersion_Url,
                version: localVersion,
            })
        } else {
            return Promise.resolve({
                url: latestVersion_Url,
                version: latestVersion,
            })
        }
    });
}``

/usr/lib/node_modules/webdriver-manager/built/lib/cmds/update.js

Replace line 240 [fs.renameSync(path.resolve(outputDir, binary.zipContentName()), mv);] with:

if (fileName.indexOf('chromedriver_') != -1) {
        fs.renameSync(path.resolve(outputDir, 'chromedriver-linux64', binary.zipContentName()), mv)
    } else {
        fs.renameSync(path.resolve(outputDir, binary.zipContentName()), mv);
    }

did nobody fork the webdriver-manager to make this fix? so we can install that one besides protractor?

JordanRieger · 2024-07-26T11:59:41Z

@jcompagner I had to rewrite all my tests using the new selenium-manager without protractor at all. Big hassle, but at least I don't have to manually patch stuff any more.
