Use Chromium, /usr/bin/chromedriver on Linux arm64

[mbland]

The project now completely builds and passes all tests on Linux arm64 using Chromium.

The following is adapted from the comment block for the new WebApplicationTest.getChromeDriver(). Including the information here to make sure it's more accessible to anyone who could use it.

If /usr/bin/chromium if present, the test will use this browser and set the ChromeDriver instance to /usr/bin/chromedriver. This is because Google Chrome isn't yet available for arm64 Linux, and WebDriver doesn't download the correct driver, either:

It also won't work with a snap-installed version of Chromium. At the time of writing, I installed Chromium by upgrading to Ubuntu 23.10 and following the following advice to install Chromium from Debian:

• https://askubuntu.com/questions/1179273/how-to-remove-snap-completely-without-losing-the-chromium-browser/1206502#1206502

For future reference, this is how to install the non-snap version of Firefox from Mozilla:

Also of note: Upgrading to Ubuntu 23.10 will not automatically upgrade any Docker packages installed via:

• https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#install-using-the-repository

The effect is that the Docker container will run, but nothing can connect to its ports. This will cause the WebDriver tests to hang (until we move away from using Docker and running Tomcat directly).

To fix it:

  sudo apt remove docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io \
    docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

  # Get the value of VERSION_CODENAME from /etc/os-release or
  # `lsb_release -cs`. Update the codename in the following file with
  # this value. Going from Ubuntu 22.04 to 23.10, this will replace
  # "jammy" with "mantic".
  sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list

  sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io \
    docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

The ChromeDriverService.Builder().usingDriverExecutable(driverPath) method of setting /usr/bin/chromedriver came from:
