Hi, I would like to use chromedriver over /usr/bin/chromedriver, but if this is not found, we use the command

$ sbase get chromedriver latest

*** chromedriver version for download = 114.0.5735.90 (Latest)

I am packaging python-seleniumbase in order to test trame-client.

This looks like your Linux user doesn't have the permissions necessary to access that folder.

There are a few ideas, such as https://stackoverflow.com/a/23871224/7058266

Try with chmod or chown. Or use a user that has access to that folder. (root or other).

Alternatively, you can try manually getting the file, (eg. with wget), and then placing the chromedriver file on your PATH (eg. in /usr/local/bin).

Also, it's possible that the download will succeed if you let the test get it automatically (because the permissions may be different).

I think it is a bug and should be solved, I am using Windows and it didn't happen before.

This does not happen with the normal driver.

@boludoz The base algorithm of the SeleniumBase Chromedriver Patcher is unchanged from the undetected-chromedriver version:

https://github.com/ultrafunkamsterdam/undetected-chromedriver/blob/0aa5fbe252370b4cb2b95526add445392cad27ba/undetected_chromedriver/patcher.py#L347

If you have an issue with the Patcher, mention that in the undetected-chromedriver repo.

The problem seems to be that a uc_driver.exe remains open.

In fact I made some proposals for changes.

[boludoz]

I would really like to investigate if it is possible to do this multi-instance but I don't have time.

Multithreaded UC Mode without using pytest -n NUM is going to be officially announced in the second UC Mode video tutorial that I'm currently trying to prepare the presentation for. The fewer GitHub notifications I see until then, the faster it gets done.
