Description

Since some of openQA's Selenium-based tests are affected¹ I've been creating this ticket to keep track of the supposedly upstream bug in ChromeDriver 98.0.4758.80. The relevant upstream ticket is https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=3999 and the problem is mentioned in comments on https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=2269.

One can easily workaround the issue via

sudo zypper in --oldpackage http://download.opensuse.org/history/20220206/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/chromedriver-97.0.4692.99-1.1.x86_64.rpm http://download.opensuse.org/history/20220206/tumbleweed/repo/oss/x86_64/chromium-97.0.4692.99-1.1.x86_64.rpm

and the CI is not affected yet as well.

If the problem isn't fixed by upstream soon we can consider implementing a workaround on our side. I've already created one for the fullstack tests as it simplifies the code there anyways (see https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/4499/commits/bf611dd47b52e9a73f67f9cdfc968ba8c495cb25). We could do the same for other tests (using the JavaScript DOM API to set the form element value directly).


¹ The error is: sendKeysToElement: unknown error: Cannot construct KeyEvent from non-typeable key

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=2269 is from 2018 (!) so I assume that at least that won't be fixed that soon

But the last comments mentioned in that ticket are quite recent. So while the ticket itself might not be relevant the discussion in it is. It looks like https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=3999 is the relevant ticket. I've been updating the ticket description.

Apparently 98.0.4758.102 will fix it so I'll refrain from investing time in workarounds for now.

The latest chromedriver is in TW and works indeed.
