WebDriver auto-download not working.

[Erik_NJ]

It seems Microsoft changed something (again) and the UDF is not downloading the latest Edge webdriver, just a heads up.

Hello,

Microsoft no longer seems to allow public access to https://msedgewebdriverstorage.blob.core.windows.net/edgewebdriver/.
I’m using the au3WebDriver solution by Danp2 to manage the WebDriver, and my (crappy & temporary) solution was to modify the wd_helper.au3 library on my end so that it no longer calls the __WD_GetLatestWebdriverInfo function in _WD_UpdateDriver.
 

;           Local $aDriverInfo = __WD_GetLatestWebdriverInfo($aBrowser, $sBrowserVersion, $bFlag64) 
;           $iErr = @error                                                                                                                      
;           $iExt = @extended                                                                                                               
;           $sDriverLatest = $aDriverInfo[1]                                                                                            
;           $sURLNewDriver = $aDriverInfo[0]                                                                                        
            Local $sNewURL = $aBrowser[0][$_WD_BROWSER_NewDriverURL]                                        
            $sDriverLatest = $sBrowserVersion                                                                                       
            $sURLNewDriver = Execute($sNewURL)

if it helps

@Danp2 Are there plans to update your Webdriver UDF with a work-around for Microsoft’s policy change? 
 

[Danp2]

@CodeWriter I haven't had time to investigate. PRs are obviously welcome. 😉

No idea what it means, but thanks anyway

Pull requests on GitHub are a way for developers to propose changes to a project.
They allow you to notify team members that you have made a change (or a set of changes) in a separate branch,
and you would like them to review and potentially merge those changes into the main codebase.

**Pull requests are proposals to merge code changes into a project. A pull request is GitHub's foundational collaboration feature, letting you discuss and review changes before merging them. This helps teams work together, catch issues early, and maintain code quality.

Not familiar with GitHub, the PR that came to mind was: "Public Relations are welcomed"

@Danp2

Thank you for the update; however, I'm still getting errors that MS Edge driver failed to update with 1.5.0

@CodeWriter Perhaps you misunderstood the current state of things. Here's a quick rundown --

• The PR I linked has been proposed by another user
• The PR hasn't been merged yet because I haven't verified its functionality
• It will be included in a future release after  it has been merged into the main branch

The fix is fairly simple, so you are can certainly modify your local copy of the UDF to test it yourself.
