[🐛 Bug]: NoSuchDriverException under Windows if user home contains special characters
ivy-lmu opened this issue · comments
What happened?
Under Windows, it is possible that the user's home directory contains special characters such as ü, ä and ö etc..
With the user home C:\Users\DieLücke the following line of code in Java leads to NoSuchDriverException:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
With C:\Users\hello the same code works fine.
How can we reproduce the issue?
