desired capabilities causes error

[Jim Brännlund]

          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:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    for retry in Retrying(

Hello , we are facing the same issue.

Is there any update / fix for this?

[Jim Brännlund]

Currently the only workaround is pinning selenium to a version where it works.

Downgrading to selenium==4.9.0 worked for me.

CVE PYSEC-2023-101 now requires selenium>=4.10 but pytest-selenium has breaking errors with it. :-(

Thanks, I'll try to prioritise this. Not sure exactly how much work is involved at this time tho.

Isn't this a duplicate of #283?

[Pantelis Katsaros]

Any update on this ?

Any update on this ?

Yeah, as soon as I'm done releasing v4 of pytest-html, this is my next thing.

CVE PYSEC-2023-206 now requires selenium>=4.14.0.
