String path = DownloadLatestVersionOfChromeDriverGetVersionPath() I've looked around and haven't yet found anything for C# that does this, so I decided to roll my own and build that into my application: public void DownloadLatestVersionOfChromeDriver() What would be nice would be what python has and suggests which is using a library that will automatically pull the latest chromedriver on runtime. You need (typically, without a work around) to pull the latest chromedrive from NuGet by hand, again a manual process. You need to deploy at the frequency of chrome updating (most companies aren't there yet, neither are we) or your application will be 'broken' for the time between chrome updating and your 'new' version of the application deploying, and again this is only if you release on a schedule, if you release ad-hoc your going to have to go through a series of manual steps to update, build, release etc. My answer is specific to C#, for this language the solution typically suggested is to use NuGet to pull the latest driver automatically, this has two issues:

I've found that manually updating X servers every few months to be incredibly irritating and while there are well written instructions on the selenium website on how to 'auto update' the driver I've yet to see one openly available non-library implementation of this guide. However, for many of us, this occasional downtime is 'ok' as long as it's just a few days. NOTE: I really like this solution, but when it comes down to it, I probably prefer to automate with Aerokube dockerized browser containers, such as with 'Moon framework', which only costs $5/thread/month for a selenium grid that runs dockerized browser tests.ДЇirst is right, even when implemented auto update code will not work 100% of the time. < Content-Disposition: attachment filename='geckodriver' Here is what it looks like querying the service (using Insomnia rest client): > GET /firefoxdriver?os=LINUX HTTP/1.1 It would be very very cheap to host this service on AWS or Azure as it only requires the most minimal hardware to run it. In Docker, set it to remain daemonized with auto-restart policy.

The drivers will be stored in your local $HOME/wdm folder and also inside the docker image.

Using Docker, you can run your own WebDriverManager server, then all you need to do is write really simple code to download drivers from that: # Mac OSX commandДocker run -p 4041:4041 -v $HOME/wdm:/root/.m2/repository bonigarcia/webdrivermanager:4.0.0Дocker run -p 4041:4041 -v %USERPROFILE%/wdm:/root/.m2/repository bonigarcia/webdrivermanager:4.0.0 This way, your team can automate using any Selenium tool. When ready, you can let it run with cron or similar.ДЄ solution that works for ANY programming language you want to automate with. Since you don't mention a system architecture on which you want to build this, I've chosen mine. in Arch-like systems, you might use $ pacman -Qs chromium for getting Chromium version. If you want to fully automate this, you probably need to built in command line parameters and pipe chrome version into your Python script.

#Download chromedriver selenium for mac zip file#

You also might use zipfile library to extract the zip file after a successful download. The result of these steps will be a zip file with a chrome driver in the current directory (from where you ran the script). Version_response = requests.get(url + version)ДЇinally, it's time to download the zip file (if it exists): if version_response.text:ДЇile = requests.get(url_file + version_response.text + '/' + file_name)

Now I'll let the user choose a version, and I get the version from the site: version = input() Then I'll save the necessary links into two varibles + I define the file name of the desired version of chrome driver: url = '' Let's have a look at a few lines in Python, I'll outline the main flow and you might want to build it more powerful (like command line parameters etc.)ДЇirst I'll import requests: import requests You need to follow these steps, and you need to choose a tool in which you implement them.
