[🐛 Bug]: Error fetching Chrome version on headless Chromium in @wdio/utils #11113
Description
Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?
- I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.
WebdriverIO Version
8.15.10
Node.js Version
v18.x
Mode
WDIO Testrunner
Which capabilities are you using?
{
browserName: "chrome",
goog:chromeOptions: {
binary: "path/to/executable/chromium/headless_shell"
}
}What happened?
When using webdriverio v8.15.10 with a headless Chromium browser, the @wdio/utils package attempts to fetch the Chrome version using the command cp.execSync("${chromePath}" --version").toString(). However, this command fails when running headless Chromium, resulting in the following error:
Error: Command failed: "/tmp/chromium/chromium" --version.
We also tried Chromium@118 provided from @puppeteer/browsers and the same error occurred.
What is your expected behavior?
Be able to talk to the browser.
How to reproduce the bug.
- Set up a project with
webdriveriov8.15.10 - Configure the project to use a headless Chromium browser
- Run a test
