first question here so hope format is correct.
I am trying to use Selenium in order to automate a Log-In process but am encountering the following problem:
Image of issue
As you can see I have two different versions of the driver initialiser, this is because:
When I pick the executable to be the default chrome executable it opens a new window, with the correct profile information, but doesn't "act". It doesn't even show the usual "Chrome is being used by automated software" message
When I pick the chromedriver executable which I downloaded to use with Selenium it opens a window without any kind of information relative to the profile loaded but goes through the entire process I asked it to
I'd be grateful for any kind of help,
Thank you in advance

Can't remove "What's New" tab from recent install of Chrome/ChromeDriver

I recently had a new VM created for Windows 10 and our test automation suite.
After I got everything installed, I ran some of our tests. However, every single time that Selenium launches ChromeDriver, I still see the "What's New" / chrome://Whats-new tab in the browser, then our tests launch in a new tab. The tests seem to work just fine, however, if I do have a failing test, we take a desktop screenshot, and of course, all we see is the What's New tab, not our actual site-under-test.
I do not see the tab when launching Chrome manually, on any user that logs into the box. It only happens with the Selenium-ChromeDriver launched browsers. Even closing the tab while a test is running doesn't permanently remove that tab.
I have never encountered this problem with ChromeDriver before and it's a difficult question to search for answers.
Chrome / ChromeDriver versions: 98.0.4758.82 (which was released on 2/2, but it also happened on the previous version)
Has anyone solved this problem recently?
Try to use chromeOptions.AddArgument("--disable-features=ChromeWhatsNewUI");

I'm automating my test cases using the Karate for UI automation.
I'm using headless mode in google chrome for running the test cases.
Is there a way to record a video of the execution of the test cases?
I don't think so - but you are welcome to do some research and contribute code to Karate if needed.

robot.input is not entering text on dockerized browser [duplicate]

Karate Robot: Not able to click button using image
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I encountered an issue while running my UI test cases on dockerized browsers. When I using 'robot.input(value)' for entering a text(input and value function not working for me), then instead of entering value on docker browsers it is entering text on my host windows browser. I am using the karate 0.9.6 version.
This is working fine in a normal browser.
Not sure if this issue is solved in newer versions.
The combination of robot and driver is not proven especially for Docker.
Please consider helping us troubleshoot and solve this problem, this is an open-source project.

UnreachableBrowserException Chrome/Firefox Driver & Selenium [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server
(2 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
When I try to start a WebDriver with Selenium 3.14, 3.13 or 3.12 I get
"org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure." error.
I can run tests with older Selenium versions without an error. I have already set the Envirioment Variables (e.g. webdriver.chrome.driver). Also I have tried "System.setProperty" method. I use jdk8, maven 3.5.4 on IntelliJ.
A possible reason for this exception could be incompatible version of chromedriver.exe
Disable your chrome browser's auto updates, check its version and download compatible chromedriver and see if this works.

I'm working on a web browser extension for Safari.
Is there any way to create a .safariextz package from the Linux or Mac commandline, in the same way we can do it for Firefox and Chrome extensions?
I am looking for this too.
It seems you can use XAR with a patch.
