Chrome download path on windows grid server gets a forward slash when executed from linux

[dpn982]

I am having an issue running through jenkins (linux) against a windows selenium grid node chrome download path gets converted to a path with forward slashes. I have tried using both the properties file and the conf file and get the same result.

conf file:

chrome_preferences {
download {
default_directory="S:\\export"
}
}

Or

serenity.properties:

chrome_preferences.download.default_directory=S:\export

the S drive is mounted to a samba network share. If I look in the console window for the node I see the following capability:

I checked the download folder path in the chrome browser running on the Windows selenium grid (even tried latest 4 release) and the download path is set to S:/Export. Chrome on windows does not even allow you to enter this manually.

I was able to work around the issue by using the Serenity BeforeAWebdriverScenario extension and changing the path back to S:\Export after which the test executed fine.

This is occurring on even the Serenity 3.2.1 release.

Try with the new W3C capabilities: https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/guide/driver_config#specifying-w3c-properties

This seems to be working now, using the link above on serenity-core 4.0.46.
