Hi everyone, is there any one encountering the problem where you can not automate chrome when you already downloaded the compatible chromedriver version. Here I have downloaded the chromedriver version 132.0.6834 and set path to it in Katalon setting but still unable to open the chrome. Please help, thanks
Thank you for sharing your issue. Please help upgrade your KS to v10.1.0 as we support Chrome 132 with that. Thank you
More details on this doc
Which is your case?
- You want to launch a Chrome browser on Android mobile device
- You want to launch a Chrome browser on your desktop Windows PC
I guess you want to work on an Android device. Am I right?
On the other hand, you checked the chromedriver with the path C:\Users\tnhein\.katalon\packages\KS-10.0.1\configuration\resources\dirvers\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe
.
This exe is the Chromedriver that talks to the Chrome browser on the desktop Windows PC; the exe does NOT talk to the Chrome on your Android mobile device.
I think, you are confused.
Which path should @NTTDATAItalia_POnL locate the chromedriver for Android device?
Please check the following doc:
It tells
- Windows: go to
C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-chromedriver\chromedriver\win
(You might need to create the chromedriver\win subfolder manually).
Hi kazurayam, thanks for your passionate help. I wonder if higher chrome driver version will work. Since on the chromedriver web, the lowest version currently is 133, I cant find any version 132 to download now. I already put it in the path you suggest
Hi, I upgraded to KS 10.1.0, how ever right now there only chrome driver 133, can it still automate chrome 132 ?
The latest stable Chrome version today is 133.
https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/
The v132 is already (a bit) old. Why do you stick to the v132? Why not you use v133, the latest stable Chrome?
If you have any reason to stick to a specific old version of Chrome, then you should avoid relying on the Chrome browser for ordinary browsing. You should use “Chrome for Testing”. See the following article.
The following topic of mine tells you how to use “Chrome for Testing” in Katalon Studio.
I followed your guide in the No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome '<chrome_version>' | Katalon Docs, after setting the value in Desired Capabilities, I encounter this problem: Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Can’t stop process; it’s not currently running (cmd: ‘C:\Users\tnhien\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-chromedriver\chromedriver\win --port=57892 --adb-port=5037 --verbose’)
Any idea why this happen ? Glad if you could help

Solution I will

Cause the chrome on my phone is still stuck at version 132, I tried to update in Play Store but there is no version 133 available yet
I have no more idea, sorry.
One last question, my path for chrome driver is like shown below. Is my path set up in Katalon like this is correct or do I need to change anything ?
The error I get
Should I set the path as C:\Users\tnhien\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-chromedriver\chromedriver\win or C:/Users/tnhien/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-chromedriver/chromedriver\win
I even tried /Users/tnhien/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-chromedriver/chromedriver\win then it said "Original error: Trying to use a chromedriver binary at the path /Users/tnhien/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-chromedriver/chromedriver/win, but it doesn’t exist!
"
I am not sure but probably you should type a backslash character \
as the Windows path separator, rather than a forward slash character /
.
Your issue is resolved or still have same issue ?
Yes, issue sloved
It is great to hear that you have solved this issue. Can you please help share how you solve this problem and mark as solution for others to refer to? Thank you!
