Jira Performance Test - Update Chromedriver version

[Christian Rosenberger]

Hi all,

I've tried to use JPT (https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/jira-performance-tests/src/master/), but it's not working based on newer Chrome version installed:

The ChromeDriver is a quite old one. I cannot see any active development on the JPT project. What has happend to it?

Hi Christian,

you can use your own ChromeDriver with JPT. Just download the correct version according to your version of Google Chrome from:

https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

Unpack the driver executable, make sure it's executable and then either place in in the same directory, that you run your tests from, or set the webdriver.chrome.driver property, for example pass it as the JVM argument: -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="/path/to/chromedriver".

Hi Pawel,

thanks for your answer. That worked perfectly well for me. I've used the 87. driver and it detects my Chrome 87 version.

Regards,
Christian
