Updated Webdriver to 118 Chromedriver and not starting Chrome

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

I updated to the chrome 118 via this link https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/#stable

However it doesn't launch chrome when I run my project.

i face same problem in the past,

as i remember, the problem in with Default profile directory, you can make new profile directory and check again

Have you reviewed chrome.log for clues? My guess would be that it can't locate the browser. You could try switching to the x64 version of chromedriver to see if the behavior changes. Also, see FAQ #4 in the wiki.

I did review the log and tried deleting my temp file location. 

In the end I download another Chrome version and pointed the $DesiredCapabilities at the exe like below 

Func SetupChrome()
_WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
_WD_Option('Port', 9515)
_WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')

; original $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true }}}}'
$sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "binary":"C:\\Disk\\Chrome119\\chrome.exe" }}}}'

EndFunc
