For Firefox 106 on Windows 10, WebDriverManager tries downloading Linux driver unless clearResolutionCache

[Meownjik]

Description of the problem: When Firefox got updated to v.106, startup errors appeared. Namely, for setting WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup(); the Manager logs:

Using geckodriver 0.32.0-linux (resolved driver for Firefox 106)

and then crashes. When I added WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().clearResolutionCache().setup(); it works as expected: resolves 0.32.0-win geckodriver. Therefore, I believe the problem is somewhere in ResolutionCache.
By the way, explicit setting firefoxdriver().win() doesn't help as well, only .clearResolutionCache().

Browser and version: Firefox 106.0 (64-bit)

Operating system: Windows 10, 21H2, 64-bit

WebDriverManager version: 5.3.0

WebDriverManager call: WebDriverManager.firefoxdriver().setup();

Indeed there is a problem to detect latest version of geckodriver for windows. But it is solved now, since I updated the master version of versions database, which is internally read by WebDriverManager. You can try to remove the clearResolutionCache() now.

I still face the same issue "Exporting webdriver.gecko.driver as /Users/SedhuS/.cache/selenium/geckodriver/mac64/0.32.0/geckodriver" when I trigger remote execution(Windows) from mac. It picks up my mac binary.

There was a problem related to latest versions of geckodriver. It should be fixed now.

This fix is available on WebDriverManager 5.3.1, just released.
