How can I know the latest protractor version that can work with 51 version chrome?
Wish if there is any easier way to figure that out but there is none. Its at best trial and error effort.
The only way that i can think of is going by the chrome release dates Here (if you trust wikipedia).
Then portractor release dates here.
Start from a protractor release that was just prior to Chrome52 release date and try it.
From the question, looks like you dont have the webdriver information either. The drivers need to be downloaded for that particular Chrome version. See if they are available here. Its again trial and error based on the date of driver release you find in there.
If not from the starting of time, little bit of Webdriver version to Chrome version information can be found here.
To download a specific version of webdriver, use
npx webdriver-manager clean
npx webdriver-manager update --versions.chrome=76.0.3809.68
Having said all that, i am not optimistic at all that you are looking at an easy task :(
Good luck...

I have a problem with chromium when I run my tests through the puppeteer.
What happens is that my tests require the microphone to be enabled the moment I log in to the application, even after adding:
'--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream', '--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'] : ['--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream'
Before working normally, after changing the machine it stopped working and I don't know if it is related to the version of the chromium that is started:
This is the version of chromium when testing starts:
Version 77.0.3844.0
And my version of the puppeteer is:
```"puppeteer": "^1.19.0"````
Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, how do I update the chromium?
Thanks,
I have inherited a JMeter performance testing script. There is a chromedriver section and an HTTPSampler section. The httpsampler section works fine. The chromedriver section runs into a problem. When I run it chrome pops up like this:
It does not move forward with any of the steps in the plan after that. Up until recently I've also been seeing the error
Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died.
I am not seeing this now, so I don't know if it's just a difference in how the test is running or what.
The person I inherited this from was running it on a mac and did not get any of these problems. I saw it run with no errors at the same time I was getting them.
One solution I found was to add the --test-type flag to chromedriver. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to add that argument when running it through JMeter. I've tried adding both --test-type and -test-type to the end of the path to chromedriver.exe, but that did not work.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
The error might be due to conflict in chrome driver version. Please install the latest version of ChromeDriver from this link.
Latest version of Chrome Driver supports the browser version v56-58.
I recently updated PhpStorm to latest version 2017.1 and I get following message while starting PhpStorm
IDE's Java runtime (1.8u111) is outdated - this may cause stability
issues. Please update to 1.8.0u112 or newer
Start the IDE, use Help | Find Action (Ctrl+Shift+A or Cmd+Shift+A on Mac), type "Switch IDE Boot JDK", press Enter.
But If you don't have the latest JDK, download it from:
Download latest JAVA JDK here
And then select the "IDE BOOT JDK" like Tall Liou told.
Google Chrome on my machine recently got updated to v44.
I'm working with Selenium WebDriver on Chrome and as soon as I updated Chrome, all my tests went dead. I use Chromedriver v2.16. My partner's PC has Chrome v42.0.2311.90 and Chromedriver v2.16. And tests run fine on his machine. Now, based on this I'm pretty sure the problem is probably not with Chromedriver.
So, how can I downgrade to Chrome 42.0.2311.90?
I've tried using an offline installer from here:
Google Chrome Alternate Offline Installer
But this always gives me the latest version to install i.e. v44.
The release that I need can be found here:
Google Chrome v42.0.2311.90 Stable Channel Update
Uninstall your current chrome version.
Remove all Chrome data for current version from: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome
Download your particular version from chrome_installer.
Disable chrome updates using instructions given on this link.
Following steps help you to install your desired google chrome version :
1 - Uninstall your current google chrome version.
2 - Download your desired google chrome version from here : Google Chrome Download
3 - Restart PC once so if any registry or temp file stored of previous google chrome then it will get refresh.
4 - Install your downloaded google chrome. And then turn off automatic chrome update.
I struggled with this same problem on Mac, trying to downgrade, and stay downgraded from Chrome 53 to 52 due to a serious bug affecting webaudio.
None of the other recommendation appear to apply any more (or on Mac OS X at least). The app attempts to upgrade itself and there doesn't be a way to configure that in a "Chrome-friendly" way.
Eventually I resorted to force...
Close and uninstall Chrome
Edit your /etc/hosts file to prevent update checks from working by overriding the DNS entry:
0.0.0.0 tools.google.com
Find and download an old release. This is left as an exercise, this was actually hard and fraught with fear of bad binaries. I was able to cross-reference MD5s from one site that didn't have downloads with another that had downloads.
Install and run the older version
Important: Check the "About" page, and point and laugh at Chrome's attempts to check in.
This is how you can use an older chrome version "in general":
Uninstall your current chrome
Install the chrome version you desire
DO NOT open chrome!! after installation
Instead disable auto-updates like here or here
Only then may you work with your desired chrome browser version
As for how to get a specific older version:
You need to google, search forums or try sites like this. It's just "grunt work" to find the version you are looking for. If you're extremely unlucky, the very version you need might even not be around any more.
If you are running on a windows machine you can leverage the package manager chocolatey, this is how we I'm doing it from Jenkins, we call a powershell that uninstalls a previous version and install a specific one: From a powershell ide script window, you need to have installed the modules for chocolatey that is a small price to pay for a lot of benefit:
choco install googlechrome --version 62.0.3202.94 -y
Then to prevent Chrome to self update I am performing this steps:
1. Verify Chrome's current version.
(Get-Item (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe').'(Default)').VersionInfo
Install the version I'm aiming for:
choco install googlechrome --version 62.0.3202.94 -y
You can look for available versions here:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/GoogleChrome
(Find Version History Section)
Kill GoogleCrashHandler.exe in any of its variants 32 or 64 bits or both.
Delete the Directories
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\CrashReporter
You will loose the ability to auto update (which is the whole purpose right) and
you will loose the ability to send crash reports and piggy back on that executable to update against your will whenever google deems convenient.
5.Disable Chrome Services
I am using Ubuntu 12.10. When I try to install themes, extensions for Google Chrome browser from Chrome Web Store it shows the following error:
Could not install package:
'UTILITY_PROCESS_CRASHED_WHILE_TRYING_TO_INSTALL'.
Could not install package because a utility process crashed.
Try restarting Chrome and trying again.
I don't know what to do. And I can't find a proper solution.
This is an unidentified bug in Chrome that made a lot of noise.
Since Chrome developers could not obtain feedback about this bug in time, they marked it as WontFix. So simply waiting for a new version will most probably not help.
Closing for lack of actionable input on the bug.
If someone runs into this, please open a new bug!
You (yes, you, 007!) can actually help everyone running into this bug. Create an issue at crbug.com, mentioning the old issue #401655 and following the debug steps outlined in that issue report, esp. this comment.
That said, the bug is correlated with the kernel version used. Ubuntu 12.10 is no longer supported since 2014-05-16. You probably should move to 14.04 LTS release where this bug is not present.
But if you can't do that for whatever reason, and/or are willing to help Chrome development team, please investigate and make a bug report! And add a comment afterwards pointing to the bug you make.
Thank you for helping us help you help us all.

Fixed utility_process_crashed_while_trying_to_install issue as below:
modify the crx suffix to zip, e.g foo.crx->foo.zip
unzip the foo.zip to one folder, c:\chrome\foo
open chrome://extensions/
enable Developer Mode
"load unzipped extensions" and open c:\chrome\foo
foo.crx loaded successfully.
As crx is zip file and only htm, json, js files included, it's chrome bug and
hope this workaround will help you to avoid uninstall/install/upgrade pain :)
It is a bug in chrome, please downgrade your chrome browser or please wait for new version.
