[🐛 Bug]: In 4.12.0 unable to download Firefox Browser, In case Firefox is not installed

[prnbtr09]

What happened?

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Uninstall Firefox browser from windows machine
2. Provide Firefox option and provide browserVersion let us say 115
3. Initialize Firefox driver using above firefox options
4. Trigger the execution

Actual Result:
Unable to download firefox browser 115

Expected Result:
As per latest functionality Browser binary should be downloaded alongside geckodriver and execution should take place

Additional Details:
I tried running Selenium Manager in Debug mode: there I saw browser is getting downloaded in cache section but it is unable to locate gecko driver which is also available in .cache

What browsers and operating systems are you seeing the problem on?

os.name: 'Windows 11', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '10.0', java.version: '11.0.20.1'

Framework:
Selenium with Java and JDK used 11 and 17 both.

Error:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.NoSuchDriverException: Unable to obtain: Capabilities {acceptInsecureCerts: true, browserName: firefox, browserVersion: Optional.empty, moz:debuggerAddress: true, moz:firefoxOptions: {}}, error Command failed with code: 65, executed: [--browser, firefox, --output, json, --browser-version, 115]
firefox 115 cannot be downloaded

Firefox does not work when capabilities sent to the driver include "beta" or "nightly", so we have to remove the capability after Selenium Manager gets the requested version. The way we did it does not work in Java. We're working on an updated release.

@titusfortner actually If I don't have Firefox in my machine, I am unable to run stable one as well. In fact I should have Firefox browser stable one needs to be installed.

I got following exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.NoSuchDriverException: Unable to obtain: Capabilities {acceptInsecureCerts: true, browserName: firefox, moz:debuggerAddress: true, moz:firefoxOptions: {}}, error Command failed with code: 65, executed: [--browser, firefox, --output, json]
firefox 117 cannot be downloaded

If you set browserVersion right now, it won't work, because Firefox is complaining about how we are trying to delete it.
If you don't set a value, it will do everything as expected.

If you think there is a different error, turn on logging and see what Selenium Manager is doing — https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/webdriver/troubleshooting/logging/

This should work. The error was when using browserVersion and Grid.

Can you share the debug log output to see what the issue is?

My code to initalize Firefox driver is as follows:

new SeleniumLogger().setLevel(Level.FINE);
WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("https://www.saucedemo.com/");
driver.quit();
