Could not download https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/3.141/selenium-server-standalone-3.141.59.jar

Hi,

I am facing issue with driver installation when i use selenium standalone for chrome, ie , edge ones. I do that with codecept config.
The below error happens for all driver installation not just for selenium server one.

Error i face:

app-component
"before all" hook: codeceptjs.beforeSuite for "Check App Component Header Title":

Config as in codecept.conf.js:

exports.config = {
  tests: '././*_test.ts',
  //output: './output',
  timeout: 10000,
  helpers: {
    WebDriver: {
      url: 'https://localhost:9000/checkmydata',
      browser: 'chrome',
      smartWait: 5000,
      windowSize: '1920x1680',
      desiredCapabilities: {
        chromeOptions: {
          useAutomationExtension: false,
          // args: [
          //   '--headless',
          //   '--disable-gpu',
          //   '--disable-web-security',
          //   '--window-size=1200,1000',
          //   '--no-sandbox'
          // ]
        }
      }
    }

  },
  plugins: {
    wdio: {
      enabled: true,
      services: ['selenium-standalone'],
      seleniumInstallArgs: {
        //Used by selenium-standalone to download dependencies
        drivers: {
          chrome: {},
          ie: {},
          edge: {},
          firefox: {}
        },
        ignoreExtraDrivers: true,
        proxy: 'http://mycompanyproxyhost:port',
      }
    }
  },
  include: {
  I: './steps_file.js'
  },
  bootstrap: null,
  //mocha: { },
  name: 'e2e'
}

Questions:

1. What could be the issue?
2. And can i do a local reference through config itself from my local path instead of downloading drivers each time.

proxy: 'http://mycompanyproxyhost:port',

It seems that your proxy configurations doesn't allow to download the standalone jar. You can always download and run drivers next to WebdriverIO so you don't need to download it all the time.
