Unable to launch Chrome or Firefox browser for Manual Explore on MacOS

[Joseph Mitchell]

Hello,

I am currently unable to launch Chrome or Firefox browser to perform some manual testing. Today I did upgrade to the latest release 2.11.1.

Here is what I am seeing in the logs:

2022-02-14 11:34:54,402 [ZAP-BrowserLauncher] ERROR ExtensionQuickStartLaunch - Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities {acceptInsecureCerts: true, acceptSslCerts: true, browserName: chrome, proxy: Proxy(manual, http=localhos...}

Build info: version: 'unknown', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown'

System info: host: 'Joe-Ms-MacBook-Pro.local', os.name: 'Mac OS X', os.arch: 'x86_64', os.version: '11.1', java.version: '11.0.12'

Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new remote session. desired capabilities = Capabilities {acceptInsecureCerts: true, acceptSslCerts: true, browserName: chrome, proxy: Proxy(manual, http=localhos...}

Any help would be much appreciated!

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Have you updated all of the add-ons, especially the webdriver ones?

Browsers change frequently so we publish new webdriver add-ons whenever new versions of the drivers are made available.

You typically need to have the latest webdrivers in order to launch Chrome of Firefox.

Cheers,

Simon
