Chrome and chromedriver versions

Product Forums Katalon Studio

Can anyone tell me which Chrome and chromedriver versions work with Katalon Studio 7.7.0? I’m currently using Chrome 85.0.4183.102 and chromedriver 85.0.4183.87 on a MacBook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.6. I see that there is a chromedriver 86.0.4240.22 but I’m unable to find Chrome 86 anywhere. I’ve already tried using older versions of chromedriver with Chrome 85 and that didn’t work so I downgraded to Chrome 85.0.4183.83 and tried several versions of chromedriver with that, including 85.0.4183.83, and it still didn’t work. So with 7.7.0, I’m unable to use Chrome at all, regardless of versions.

The error I receive is the same one we always get when things are upgraded over at Google.

Have you tried the latest Chrome browser and use Tools > Update WebDrivers > Chrome to update the ChromeDriver accordingly ?

3

Yes, I’ve tried that.

@ThanhTo , is there a way to handle chrome driver versions in katalon dockers? I want to add a parameter for updating chromedriver in command in my docker-compose.yml file…

Does the parameter --config -webui.autoUpdateDrivers=true works?
What i want is that when another user clones and run my project in his machine he is able to run the tests and does not get any issues because he has not installed the chromedriver.

Thanks

Hi @anuradha

-config -webui.autoUpdateDrivers=true should work for docker too.

Hello @ThanhTo, i am running my tests in a docker. Currently my google chrome version is 84 and chromedriver version is 85 and i think this is the reason why i am unable to open my browser.

How do we make sure that the chrome the docker container is using has a compatible chrome driver to run the tests. Is there a kind of command which can be used?

Thanks

So fyi, I had to downgrade back to Katalon Studio 7.6.5 in order to get the latest Chrome and chromedriver versions to work on a MacBook Pro running High Sierra.

8

I am a bit lost tbh. I have added a command in my dockerfile so that my docker use the latest chromedriver but it does not update the chrome the docker is using. How to make docker use compatible chrome and chromedrivers. This issue is making my browser to not open and thus all tests failing. I even installed the latest chrome in the dockerfile but still docker is running old chrome version😴

In the future, it would be best for you to start your own thread for your issue, rather than using someone else’s. Thanks.

@jsharp

Have you tried to remove and re-install both Chrome and Katalon both the latest version to see if that helps ? I think the error message indicates incompatibility issue, which fresh installations should help.

11

Yes, and that didn’t help. There is definitely an incompatibility issue but removing and reinstalling the latest versions did not help.

12

okay i have created a new thread with hope that someone atleast replies.
