Capabilities was removed in Selenium 4.10.0

[Vika-Denisenko]

Hello! I have a problem after updating Selenium to v 4.10.0. I use the Remote Chrome driver in one class in my test set.

from seleniumwire import webdriver as wire_driver

options = Options()
capabilities = options.to_capabilities()            
driver = wire_driver.Remote(
               command_executor="http://localhost:3000/webdriver",
               options=options,
               desired_capabilities=capabilities

After updating selenium to v 4.10.0, this error began to appear:

failed on setup with "TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'desired_capabilities'"

cls = <class 'test_objects1.auc_1_user_registers_in_the_system.test_registration_user.UserRegisteredTests'>

If I don't pass capability the Remote Firefox driver is called, but I expected Remote Chrome driver

You managed to solve that?

For old selenium (< 4.10): dc = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME.copy() dc["goog:loggingPrefs"] = {"browser":"INFO"}

For "new" selenium (>=4.10), you need to place it using options.set_capability: options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.set_capability("goog:loggingPrefs", {browser: "INFO"})

I belive this is a duplicated https://github.com/wkeeling/selenium-wire/issues/697.

The problem seems to be here.

        if seleniumwire_options.get('auto_config', True):
            capabilities = kwargs.get('desired_capabilities')
            if capabilities is None:
                capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX.copy()
            else:
                capabilities = capabilities.copy()

            capabilities.update(config)

            kwargs['desired_capabilities'] = capabilities

I don't know why this is used, but it's the cause of the problem. When commenting it, the error is not reproduced, since the desired_capabilities is not passed to selenium's webdriver's class.

It would seem that this commit is the one that removed the desired_capabilities options https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/commit/9f5801c82fb3be3d5850707c46c3f8176e3ccd8e.

EDIT: Aclaration, this doesn't solve the problem, it just doesn't reproduce the error. For example, I'm able to add a proxxy when using local chromedriver but not a remote selenium server.

I belive this is a duplicated #697.

I created this topic first

Sure, I didn't meant it for you to close it, just to create the link relating the two of them. I think this has better documentation, I'd leave this open.
