Android limitation
Problem
When running tests on specific devices, they fail with the following error message: "No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome '0.0.0'. "
Affected devices
This issue affects the following devices and Android versions:
-
Samsung Galaxy S8 on Android 7.0
-
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on Android 7.1.1
Explanation
This issue occurs because the webview version on these devices is listed as 0.0.0.1, a version that does not have a corresponding Chromedriver. As a result, when the Chromedriver tries to find a Chromedriver version that works with the webview version, it cannot find a suitable driver.
