@bonigarcia we need to figure out a better error message...

Selenium manager is opt in for downloads, but gets used to find drivers on path. So we put it in offline mode if you don't opt in. Add
--selenium-manager true to your startup command.

[bonigarcia]

we need to figure out a better error message..

Which error message do you mean?

[titusfortner]

21:40:52.753 WARN [SeleniumManager.lambda$runCommand$1] - Exception trying to discover msedgedriver version: Unable to discover proper msedgedriver version in offline mode

Somehow we want people to know that the "fix" for this message is to enable selenium-manager. But maybe it doesn't belong in the Selenium Manager binary.

@diemol is there a place to put this in the Java code?

I did added but it seems its like that

java -jar selenium-server-4.11.0.jar  standalone --selenium-manager true --log-level FINE --log ./trace.log

the output log hasn't changed Have i missed something ?

[titusfortner]

@bonigarcia it shouldn't be in offline mode if --selenium-manager true is set?

[bonigarcia]

I think so, but I don't know the internal logic of Grid. Maybe @diemol knows.

We can see in the provided logs that SM is called with the offline flag at the beginning:

20:38:27.128 DEBUG [SeleniumManager.runCommand] - Executing Process: [C:\Users\rohit\AppData\Local\Temp\selenium-manager8313153926720010046251528778882370\selenium-manager.exe, --browser, chrome, --output, json, --debug, --offline]

... but not at the end:

20:38:28.041 DEBUG [SeleniumManager.runCommand] - Executing Process: [C:\Users\rohit\AppData\Local\Temp\selenium-manager8313153926720010046251528778882370\selenium-manager.exe, --browser, internet explorer, --output, json, --debug]

[titusfortner]

Good catch, that's weird. I'm reopening until we get it figured out.

[diemol]

Grid first tries to find drivers on the PATH through Selenium Manager and uses the offline mode, which explains the first set of messages. Then, if the --selenium-manager true flag is used, it will download drivers for the browsers it finds.

I think the confusion arises with this message:

20:38:27.373 WARN [SeleniumManager.lambda$runCommand$1] - Exception trying to discover chromedriver version: Unable to discover proper chromedriver version in offline mode

I believe it is a DEBUG rather than a WARN because if SM is running offline, it is something intentional.

[titusfortner]

If --selenium-manager is true there is no reason to be in offline mode for anything, which is my confusion. The whole point of "offline mode" was to default to opted-out with respect to downloading for people who hadn't enabled selenium manager. Somehow we need to suggest that people enable it if there is a problem, though.

[RohitM-IN]

if you need my help with anything for debug I am here :)

again I tried the it with following command

java -jar selenium-server-4.11.0.jar  standalone --selenium-manager true --log-level FINE --log ./trace.log

and trace.log if needed

trace.log

[jvargas-minitab]

I did the same, but what I noticed when looking at the --log-level FINE is that the path the chromedriver was being installed to did download the drivers even though I got that offline message. I was able to verify that on my hub, since I'm running a hub with multiple nodes.

Hello
I am having this issue while trying to work with Grid with multiple nodes

While this command "--selenium-manager true"
is not working while working with toml file

So let's say it is fixed for stand alone .. will this also works for Grid ? .. i am asking because Grid was working normally in 4.10.0 with neither local drivers nor the manager true command

Thanks in advance

How does your toml file look like?

[diemol]

I've pushed a fix that covers the following:

• Avoid checking for Safari and Safari Technology Preview when the host OS differs from macOS.
• Log a message suggesting the use of --selenium-manager true to help the user when offline mode is used.
• Using either offline mode for Selenium Manager or online when --selenium-manager true is passed avoids combining both, which confuses.

[titusfortner]

Didn't look at code are we already ensuring IE is only windows?

do we need to reDownlaoad the selenium server Jar file ?

[titusfortner]

Selenium 4.12 will hopefully be out today.

[diemol]

Didn't look at code are we already ensuring IE is only windows?

Yes. This did not change.

[harishindegene]

This is not yet fixed in Selenium 4,12 version. For chrome we are thrown with offline error. Please advice.

Unable to discover proper chromedriver version in offline mode

[diemol]

What error? Please share logs otherwise it is hard to understand what you mean.

Same issue from my side. I'm also using Selenium Server 4.11

[titusfortner]

@limuyuan you need to use the latest version of Selenium. Update to Selenium 4.12.1

[mahmoudsamy1610]

Hello @titusfortner
Thanks for your efforts

If I am working with selenium grid version 4.12.0

How to make the drivers to be downloaded automatically.. It was working fine on the same version ...

now I am facing the error
(No drivers have been found)
After multiple errors like
(Unable to discover the proper chromedriver version in offline mode)

I am expecting you may guide me to add "--selenium-manager true"

But i really do not know where to add this command while running command to register node from TOML file
cd src\main\resources\AutomationResources\ExecutableFiles && java -jar selenium-server-4.12.0.jar node --config "D:\Automation\Autofox\src\main\resources\AutomationResources\TomlFiles\GridHubNodes\Linux\firefox\LinuxfirefoxNode_1021.toml"

[titusfortner]

Should just be add this to your toml:

[node]
selenium-manager = true

[mahmoudsamy1610]

Should just be add this to your toml:

[node]
selenium-manager = true

I've checked my code .. the TOML file was created empty .. don't know why suddenly ! .. but I fixed it anyway .. and the TOML file registration back normally to working without adding this line .. maybe there's some kind of default value ... as I was facing the error but the process was resumed correctly

eventually I've added the line and I can no longer see the error .... Many Thanks @titusfortner

[rpmabhishek]

[node]
selenium-manager = true

Hi @titusfortner Can you please share how to use this in docker-compose.yaml file

[krmahadevan]

@rpmabhishek - Refer here

Replace the steps that setup volumes via commandline for docker, with the volume section in docker-compose yaml file.
