Error when I try to install screenrecorder

[Rajagopalan-M]

When I try install screenrecorder, it is throwing the following error, My ruby version is 2.6.5

Gem::ConflictError:
  Unable to activate screen-recorder-1.3.1, because childprocess-1.0.1 conflicts with childprocess (~> 3.0)

Do you have a version for childprocess gem defined (locked) in your Gemfile? A simple bundle update should work otherwise.

I don't have any gem file here, I install gem using the command gem install screen-recorder and it gives me the above error, I installed childprocess-1.0.1 after uninstalling 3.0 but it still throws the error.

childprocess 1.x is no longer needed. Try this:

1. Uninstall all versions of childprocess and screen-recorder
2. Run gem install screen-recorder. This will get you the latest version.

Hi, It's getting installed.

But while I am running, it's throwing the following error.

Gem::ConflictError:
  Unable to activate screen-recorder-1.3.1, because childprocess-1.0.1 conflicts with childprocess (~> 3.0)

What does the following command return?

gem dependency childprocess -v 1.0.1 --reverse-dependencies

[Rajagopalan-M]

It returns

Oh it's because you're using selenium-webdriver 3.142.3 which requires childprocess < v2.

I'll relax the childprocess requirement to be >= 1.0, < 4.0 in the next screen-recorder release, but I would recommend using the latest Selenium (and childprocess) release if you can.

Recent version of selenium has this problem and that's why I couldn't go there
