Upgrading

WebDriver Support for Firefox

The following is always the first step for updating Selenium WebDriver—no matter what browser you want it to use for playback. WebDriver support for Firefox will be upgraded as part of this process. 

(GeckoDriver)

To upgrade WebDriver’s support for Firefox, update GeckoDriver as follows:

1. Go to the GeckoDriver downloads page at https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases.
2. Download the GeckoDriver for your architecture:
   1. For Windows 64-bit and 32-bit: geckodriver-<version>-win64.zip
   2. For Mac 64-bit: geckodriver-<version>-macos.tar.gz
   3. For Linux 64-bit: geckodriver-<version>-linux64.tar.gz
3. Extract the geckodriver executable from this .zip.
4. In the SOAest installation directory, run the update.bat script (for Windows) or update script (for Linux and Mac) with

1. the –patch

1. argument and the path to

1. the

1. geckodriver executable file. Running this script will replace the version in the installation with the file referenced by

1. the patch

1. argument. It will also back up the replaced file in the installation by appending

1. a .bak

1. extension to the file.
   • For Windows: Run

1. • update.bat –patch /path/to/

1. • geckodriver.exe
   • For Linux or Mac:

1. • Run ./update –patch /path/to/

1. • geckodriver

After you have completed the above steps, you can confirm that Selenium WebDriver for Firefox was upgraded by going to the Firefox Add-Ons page and checking the version number.

Upgrading WebDriver Support for Chrome (ChromeDriver)

To upgrade WebDriver’s support for Chrome, update ChromeDriver as follows:

1. If you have not already done so, upgrade the Selenium client libraries as described in Upgrading Selenium Client Libraries (Includes Updating WebDriver Support for Firefox).
2. Go to the ChromeDriver downloads page at http://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html.
3. Download the latest release (you can click  the LATEST_RELEASE link to find out what version is the latest).
4. Download the ChromeDriver .zip file for your architecture:
   • For Windows 64-bit and 32-bit: chromedriver_win32.zip
   • For Mac 64-bit and 32-bit: chromedriver_mac32mac64.zip
   • For Linux 64-bit: chromedriver_linux64.zipFor Linux 32-bit: chromedriver_linux32.zip
5. Extract the chromedriver.exe file  executable from this .zip.
6. In the SOAtest installation directory, run the update.bat script (for Windows) or update script (for Linux and Mac) with the –patch argument and the path to the chromedriver.exe file executable file. Running this script will replace the version in the installation with the file referenced by the the patch argument.

Upgrading WebDriver Support for Microsoft Edge (EdgeDriver)
