Description

Dusk fails to download ChromeDriver 115+ because Google changed the URL's.

Starting with M115 the latest Chrome + ChromeDriver releases per release channel (Stable, Beta, Dev, Canary) are available at the Chrome for Testing availability dashboard. For automated version downloading one can use the convenient JSON endpoints.

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/home

Steps To Reproduce

Run php artisan dusk:chrome-driver 115.0.5790.98

  ErrorException 

  file_get_contents(https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/115.0.5790.98/chromedriver_linux64.zip): Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

looks like they changed infrastructure:

• builds: https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/
• json endpoints: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/chrome-for-testing#json-api-endpoints

i think the correct endpoint for our case here is https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/known-good-versions-with-downloads.json

Hey all. I sent in a PR that we're hopefully gonna merge and tag soon. I'd appreciate anyone who could try it out. I need some testing on different OS's like Linux/Windows: #1042

[rettigd]

I've run it through docker debian instances (locally and through github deployment actions) with no errors. The detection/download takes a really long time. This step has gone from 10ish seconds to 2+ minutes as a github action. Also very slow locally. No idea it it's an upstream issue or not.

[driesvints]

@rettigd strange... that's indeed a lot longer. I'm not sure why that is. All I did was adopt the new download urls.

[JaZo]

I experience the same performance issue as @rettigd; from a few seconds in the old situation to a minute now. I've narrowed it down to the download of the ChromeDriver zip. When I swap the file_get_contents for a curl_exec it only takes a few seconds. I also tried this solution, but that didn't make a difference.

Hi Team,

I am successfully updated the chrome binary with this solution but now dusk is not working and not able to find the elements like username password and having button to login

What's the best way to fix this in a Laravel 8 application? Is it safe to run composer update laravel/dusk --with-all-dependencies without running the risk of breaking things?
