webdriver Manager , chrome version higher then 114

[rajkrrathi]

Since webdriver-manager is not supporting Chrome version > 114 and protractor has dev dependency on webdriver-manager. How do we solve this issue?

Issue raised in webdriver-manager, regarding Chrome issue https://github.com/angular/webdriver-manager/issues/523

Yes I'm also curious how we can solve this issue. Downgrading an older chrome version is very difficult. This is blocking my protractor automated tests

@rajkrrathi / @MattMoran12 - have a look at how I solved it in Serenity/JS Protractor templates:

• instead of using webdriver-manager to download chromedriver, I use the chromedriver module directly - see package.json
• I then configure Protractor to use the chromedriver binary - see protractor config

You might also want to have a look at boilerplate Serenity/JS + Protractor projects on GitHub, which use this approach.

I hope this helps!
