[🐛 Bug]: Can't Fetch the Driver Path

[pgundlupetvenkatesh]

What happened?

I am trying to get to Driver path so I can fetch driver version and by running below code throws undefined method 'driver_path' for Class:Class error

options = Selenium::WebDriver::Options.chrome(browser_version: 'stable')
finder = Selenium::WebDriver::DriverFinder.new(options, Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Service)
puts "Driver path: #{finder.driver_path}"

I am referring the above code from https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/seleniumhq.github.io/blob/trunk/examples/ruby/spec/drivers/service_spec.rb#L34

Specs:
Ruby v3.2.1
Watir v7.3
Selenium-webdriver v4.20.0

How can we reproduce the issue?

options = Selenium::WebDriver::Options.chrome(browser_version: 'stable')
path = Selenium::WebDriver::DriverFinder.new(options, Selenium::WebDriver::Chrome::Service)
puts "Driver path: #{path.driver_path}"

seems related to #13386

[p0deje]

This was accidentally removed API that should have been deprecated instead. Sorry, should be fixed in 4.20.1.

[pgundlupetvenkatesh]

@p0deje Thank you for the fix. It's working fine now.
