Is there an issue with CDN?

[peter-dough]

Just a few hours ago, I started receiving this error when installing chromedriver via npm.

Steps to Reproduce:
npm install [email protected]

Sample Error:

09:02:18  npm ERR! Current existing ChromeDriver binary is unavailable, proceeding with download and extraction.
09:02:18  npm ERR! Downloading from file:  https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/120.0.6099.109/linux64/chromedriver-linux64.zip
09:02:18  npm ERR! Error status code: 500

Same issue

Getting the same issues, completely blocking builds now :( trying to get 116.0.0

[peter-dough]

Came across this in the readme. I suppose this applies to >120.0.0 now? Going to try and set CHROMEDRIVER_CDNBINARIESURL=https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public to see if it makes a difference.

[peter-dough]

Confirming that the following worked for me. Hope this helps others.

CHROMEDRIVER_CDNBINARIESURL=https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public npm install [email protected]

@peter-dough
Adding this portion to .npmrc worked for me:
CHROMEDRIVER_CDNBINARIESURL=https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public

Hey everyone, this is fixed after 121.0.1. The chrome team changed the binary url. See #448.

[peter-dough]

@giggio I believe the issue is with downloading an older version of chromedriver. Switching to a new driver doesn't resolve the original issue reported which is more of a workaround...

[giggio]

@peter-dough yes, the older versions won't work anymore, as the Chromedriver team changed the urls.
I just published a new version which will use their endpoints to determine the download url, so this should not happen in the future, but we can't fix the older versions.

hii @giggio I am at the latest version of the library 122.0.3 however I still got the same problem.

Error: Failed downloading chromedriver v122.0.6261.94: Download failed: server returned code 404. URL: https://edgedl.me.gvt1.com/edgedl/chrome/chrome-for-testing/122.0.6261.94/mac-arm64/chromedriver-mac-arm64.zip, retrying ...

the url is trying to go to the edgedl and the server returns 404. I tried to change the urls with .npmrc but it did not work.

[giggio]

@yazicii I just tried on Ubuntu and couldn't repro. The old URL (edgedl...) is not in the install.js file anymore, so I can't think of how it is still trying it.
Also, version 122.0.3 is tied to Chromedriver version 122.0.6261.69, not version 122.0.6261.94.
Can you send me repro steps?
