DeprecationWarnings on selenium 4

[icemac]

When running a customer project's tests I get the following deprecation warnings:

/.../selenium-4.1.0-py3.9.egg/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py:70: DeprecationWarning: desired_capabilities has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
    super(WebDriver, self).__init__(DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['browserName'], "goog",
/.../selenium-4.1.0-py3.9.egg/selenium/webdriver/chrome/webdriver.py:70: DeprecationWarning: service_log_path has been deprecated, please pass in a Service object
    super(WebDriver, self).__init__(DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['browserName'], "goog",

Using pytest-selenium = 2.0.1 on selenium = 4.1.0.

Working on it.

Hey.

Between the 15th and 22nd of December, I'm taking vacation with the explicit purpose of working on this plugin (and the other plugins I maintain).

Would you be interested in helping me during that time? Mainly with reviewing PRs and maybe triaging issues?

If you are please shoot me an email at jimbrannlund at fastmail dot com.

Maybe @ssbarnea and @gnikonorov are able to help out as well? 🙇

[dosas]

will continue after #282 is merged

[BeyondEvil]

Merged @dosas 😊

[BeyondEvil]

v4.0.0 was just released. Any updates here?

[dosas]

I have been trying to work on it but could not get it done on time. The desired capabilities are an essential part of this plugin for the cloud based drivers.

I pushed some of the work to this fork

Would you mind creating a small repro repo?

It really speeds up my ability to solve the issue. 🙏 🙇

[BeyondEvil]

Maybe hold off on that, as I think the repo created for me in this issue: #284 actually covers this issue as well.

Hello, since yesterday (release 4.10.0 of Selenium, https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/releases/tag/selenium-4.10.0), this warning is no more a warning but is causing the code to fail:

    for retry in Retrying(

Any progress on this? The issue does now exist for 1.5 years, and pytest-selenium becomes increasingly unusable these days.

I tried to fix this in a local fork but I failed even to find a combination of the dependencies so the tests can run successfully. So I had to give up. 😢

Here is what I did:

• I added py as a dependency, see Missing dependency on py package #313.
• I downgraded selenium to <4.10 which fixed some tests which are broken when using with a current selenium version. (12 failed, 88 passed, 3 skipped, 6 xfailed for Python 3.11 as well as for Python 3.8)
• The output of pytest-html 4.x also changed, but downgrading it to 3.2, 3.1.1, 3.0.0 or even to <3 did not help to fix the tests which assert certain HTML snippets in the output.
