[🐛 Bug]: WARNING: There was an error managing chromedriver 116.0.5845.96

[VaibhavMTH]

What happened?

Team I am not able to download 116 driver as required for Chrome116
Tried - 4.11 selenium java + webdrivermanager 5.5.2
Tried - Selenium java 4.8.3 + webdrivermanager 5.5.2
Using eclipse IDE

WebDriverManager.chromedriver().clearDriverCache().setup();
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().clearResolutionCache().setup();
Thread.sleep(2000); // Sleep for 2 seconds
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();

How can we reproduce the issue?

<artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
<version>5.5.2</version>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>4.11.0</version>

We do not maintain WebDriverManager.

Selenium has implemented functionality to replace the basic WebDriverManager implementation, so you should be able to remove that dependency entirely.

That said, your log is showing Error HTTP 403 which is an indication that there is some kind of network/proxy limitation on your computer preventing the driver from being downloaded from that location that you'll want to investigate.
